Remember Monday: The UK's Eurovision Hopefuls? Seriously?
Okay, so the UK's Eurovision entry for 2025 has been announced, and it's...a girl group! Remember Monday, a country-pop trio, will be representing us in Basel, Switzerland with their song, "What The Hell Just Happened?". Honestly, who saw *that* coming? It's the first time a girl band's represented the UK since 1999, which is pretty wild. The Eurovision fandom is buzzing, let me tell you.
So, Who are Remember Monday?
Meet Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele – three women who formed Remember Monday back in their sixth-form days. Their name? A total inside joke about their endless Monday jam sessions. It’s stuck, though, becoming a symbol of their friendship and musical journey. These ladies aren't exactly unknown; they boast a seriously impressive online following – over 500,000 TikTok followers and 11 million likes! That’s a built-in fanbase right there.
Their Eurovision Song: "What The Hell Just Happened?"
Their Eurovision entry, "What The Hell Just Happened?", is described as upbeat and fun. It captures that chaotic feeling after a crazy night out – you know, the one where you’re trying to piece everything back together? The song’s energy is infectious, and the lyrics are totally relatable. It's a far cry from some of the UK’s recent, less-than-stellar Eurovision entries. They're bringing a unique country-pop sound, and their harmonies are powerful. It’s actually quite refreshing.
High Hopes and Past Performances
Remember Monday’s already generated a lot of buzz. They were on The Voice UK in 2019, which showed off their vocal talent and stage presence. Plus, they've supported huge names like Tom Jones and Dasha – that's serious experience under their belts. Their TikTok videos are everywhere, including a surprisingly good cover of Sam Ryder's "Space Man." All of this definitely adds to the excitement.
Can They Break the UK's Eurovision Curse?
Let's be honest, the UK hasn't exactly been killing it at Eurovision lately. Mae Muller's entry last year? Second to last. Ouch. Remember Monday are hoping to change all that. They're bringing a fresh, energetic sound – a distinctly British one, at that. Their goal? To win. It sounds ambitious, but their vibrant personalities, catchy song, and vocal talent might just be the winning formula. Could this be the year the UK reclaims its Eurovision crown?
Eurovision 2025 is in Basel, Switzerland from May 13th to 17th. Will Remember Monday bring home the trophy? We'll have to wait and see, but the anticipation is definitely building. I, for one, am rooting for them!
