Lebanon in The Song 4

Lebanon participated in The Song 4 in Florence, Italy. The Lebanese broadcaster, LBC, selected their entry via a national selection. The winning entry was "Run", performed by Anthony Keyrouz and ZANA, written by Anthony Jamil Keyrouz, Suzana Johansen, Valentin Glage and Vincent Stefansson.

Participation
After internally selecting their entry for the three previous editions of the competition, the new head of delegation announced on September 30 that Lebanon would be holding a national final to select their entry. The ten competing songs were subsequently revealed the following day in a selection titled, "The Sound of Lebanon", hosted by Mika.

The Sound of Lebanon
The format consisted of ten songs in one final. However, after voting began, Talia Lahoud and her song "Wicked Game" were disqualified after it was revealed that the song was a cover. The final lead to a tie between two songs, and a Superfinal was held.

Anthony Keyrouz and ZANA had previously been selected to represent Lebanon in The Song 3 with their song "Hush Hush (Don't Be Shy)", but were replaced following the disqualification of the Lebanese Head of Delegation. They subsequently returned to compete in the national selection for this edition.

Final
Due to an error in mathematical calculations from the Lebanese Head of Delegation, it was mistakenly revealed that "Run" had won the final. However, during the validation of results by the EBU, it was noted that there was in fact a tie between the top 2 songs, and thus a Super-final was recommended to be held. Both of Anthony Keyrouz's entries qualified for the superfinal, "Run" with ZANA, and "When Angels Lie" with Besomorph and Mougleta. {{Legend|#ffdead|Qualified}}

Superfinal
Voting was reopened following the final, and voters were asked to vote for their favourite entry. "Run" won the Superfinal, and "When Angels Lie" will compete in The Song Second Chance 4. {{Legend|gold|Winner}} {{Legend|paleturquoise|The Song Second Chance}}

Disqualification of Head of Delegation
During the voting for Semi-final 2 of The Song 4, the EBU discovered that the Heads of Delegation of Lebanon and Cyprus, as well as certain audience members had orchestrated a plan to exchange jury points as well as fake televotes. The EBU received evidence that this behaviour had also been conducted in various other competitions. The Heads of Delegation for both Lebanon and Cyprus were subsequently banned, the second edition in a row that this had occurred.

The voting juries in Semi-final 2 were given a chance to change their votes and remove Lebanon if they wanted to. It was announced that both countries would receive 0 points in televoting for the Semi-final, due to an inability to determine whether the televotes received by these countries were legitimate. This was later changed, and it was announced that both countries would receive a 50% deduction in their televoting score, and votes deemed to be legitimate were counted. However, both countries failed to qualify for the final.

In The Song Second Chance 4, "When Angels Lie" had qualified for the final, but were later disqualified before voting began, and were replaced by a Wildcard.
