Remember Monday: UK's Eurovision 2025 Hopefuls
The UK's Eurovision entry for 2025 has been revealed, and it's a girl-power anthem! Country-pop trio Remember Monday will be taking the stage in Basel, Switzerland with their song, "What The Hell Just Happened?". This marks the first time a girl band has represented the UK since 1999, generating significant buzz among Eurovision fans.
Meet Remember Monday
Made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, Remember Monday formed during their sixth-form years. Their name, a quirky nod to their frequent Monday jam sessions, has become a symbol of their enduring friendship and musical journey. The trio boasts an impressive online following, with over 500,000 TikTok followers and 11 million likes, demonstrating their existing fanbase and online presence.
"What The Hell Just Happened?": A Song for the Ages
Their Eurovision entry, "What The Hell Just Happened?", is described as an upbeat, fun track perfectly capturing the whirlwind of emotions following a memorable night out. The song's infectious energy and relatable lyrics are expected to resonate with audiences, potentially breaking the UK's recent string of less-than-stellar performances. The song itself is a departure from recent UK entries, showcasing the band's unique country-pop blend and powerful harmonies.
High Hopes and Previous Successes
Remember Monday's Eurovision journey has already garnered significant media attention and fan support. The band previously appeared on The Voice UK in 2019, further solidifying their vocal talent and stage presence. Having supported established artists like Tom Jones and Dasha, their experience on the music circuit will undoubtedly benefit their Eurovision performance. Their pre-existing online fanbase and viral TikTok videos, including their rendition of Sam Ryder's "Space Man," only add to the excitement surrounding their participation.
Breaking the UK Eurovision Drought?
The UK's Eurovision performance in recent years has been lackluster, with Mae Muller's 2023 entry finishing second to last. Remember Monday aims to change this trend, bringing a fresh, energetic, and distinctly British sound to the competition. Their goal is simple: to bring home the trophy. Their vibrant personalities, combined with a catchy song and impressive vocal talent, may just be the formula the UK needs to reclaim its place among the Eurovision frontrunners.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 takes place in Basel, Switzerland from May 13th to 17th. Will Remember Monday bring the Eurovision trophy back to the UK? Only time will tell, but the early excitement surrounding the band and their song is undeniable.
