The UK's Eurovision 2025 act has been announced as Remember Monday

Following acts such as Olly Alexander, Mae Muller and Sam Ryder, who have all represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest over recent years, we have now had this year's UK entry announced!

Who is representing the UK at Eurovision 2025?

Revealing the news on Friday 7th March, a country pop act called Remember Monday have been announced, with a track called 'What The Hell Just Happened?'.

Remember Monday say of the news: “What The Hell Just Happened is exactly how we’re feeling right now! It’s all very surreal; our friendship goes so far back, and we definitely never imagined that we’d be doing anything like this. When you’re a kid and people ask you what you want to be when you grow up, an absolute classic is “I wanna be a pop star”, so the fact that we’re getting the chance to live that dream as three best friends is just wild.

"We’re going to be the first girlband to represent the UK since 1999, which feels like such a crazy honour. We’re going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won’t have seen before on the Eurovision stage….We honestly can’t wait to experience this with all of the other incredible artists from around the world, and hopefully make everyone back at home feel proud! This is really the music World Cup and we’ll do our best to bring it home!”

What is the song?

The song is called 'What The Hell Just Happened?', and was co-written by Remember Monday alongside Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie 'Kill J' Aagaard.

The upbeat pop track is full of energy, excitement and drama, and is the perfect fit for an event like Eurovision.
