As anticipation builds for the 2025

, the UK’s representative has been announced: the talented girl group Remember Monday will be taking the stage with their energetic song, What The Hell Just Happened? This country-pop trio is not just aiming to participate; they are determined to make a mark and bring home a memorable performance.

Formed by school friends Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele in 2013, Remember Monday has a rich history rooted in friendship and shared dreams. Their journey began in Farnham,

, where they first honed their craft, and they later showcased their talent on the competitive stage of

in 2019. Although they faced challenges, including an early exit from the competition, they persevered and continued to create music, releasing several tracks including their latest EP, Crazy Anyway.

Their Eurovision entry, What The Hell Just Happened?, promises to be a standout performance, marked by an upbeat tempo and theatrical flair. Co-written with the well-regarded duo Billen Ted and other accomplished songwriters like Thomas Stengaard and Julie “Kill J” Aagaard, this song aims to encapsulate the exhilarating chaos of a night out, capturing the essence of youthful revelry with cheeky lyrics like, “Room is spinning, ears are ringin’”.

Remember Monday promises to bring an energetic performance that mixes country influences with pop sensibilities, a unique combination that could resonate well in the eclectic Eurovision arena. “We’re going to bring loads of fun, energy, and hopefully, do something that you won’t have seen before on the Eurovision stage”, they said, showcasing their confidence and excitement about participating.

The significance of this selection cannot be overstated. Remember Monday will be the first girl band to represent the UK at Eurovision since Precious in 1999. This historical aspect adds weight to their performance, as they aim to revive the glory of female representation in a contest that has seen its ups and downs for the UK over the past few years. Previous entrants like

What sets Remember Monday apart is not just their musical talent but also their ability to connect with fans on social media platforms, particularly TikTok. They are known to showcase their personality and humor, which could greatly benefit their exposure leading up to the contest. Engaging with their audience while promoting their song will play a critical role in garnering support, as public voting is a key component of the Eurovision results.

While the competition landscape is daunting—with nations like Sweden and Australia gearing up to present their entries—Remember Monday's vibrant identity and fresh sound mark them as a strong contender. Their approach to crafting a narrative around a wild night out resonates with the jubilant spirit of Eurovision, making it an anthem of empowerment and carefree joy.

As the Eurovision Song Contest approaches, all eyes will be on this dynamic trio to see how they innovate on the stage in Basel, Switzerland, on May 17, 2025. With their optimistic outlook and dedicated preparation, it seems that Remember Monday could very well emerge as the breath of fresh air the UK needs in this iconic musical competition.
