Eurovision 2025’s UK act Remember Monday address backlash in unique way

The UK’s Eurovision Song Contest 2025 act Remember Monday have addressed backlash over their involvement.

It was announced yesterday that the trio – comprised of pals Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steel – will represent the UK at the song contest, which is being held in Switzerland this year. They will perform their song What The Hell Just Happened? in the grand final in Basel on May 17.

Following the news, a video has been released of the group – who were rumoured for Eurovision before the official announcement – addressing comments about their potential involvement. It shows Remember Monday harmonising as they sing comments written about them on social media. A caption over the video teased: “Turning our hate comments into songs”.

It begins with the trio singing: “Please tell me it’s not true you’re doing Eurovision for UK”. They next put their spin on a comment that read: “Yep we’re getting 0 points again..”. The video concludes with them singing: “Are you going to Eurovision or not? I want to get the disappointment out of the way”.

The video was shared by the BBC’s Eurovision account on Instagram this afternoon. The caption of the post read: “From trash talk to treasure. The #Eurovision rumour mill recently hit full peak for @RememberMonday_, but for this year’s UK Eurovision it’s just an opportunity to harmonise and turn some of their favourite comments into choooons”!

Remember Monday – who previously competed on the Voice UK – confirmed that they are representing the UK at Eurovision when they appeared on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 yesterday. The trio, who have been friends since meeting at sixth form in 2013, have teased that they “can’t wait” for the experience.

In a statement over the news, the trio said: “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! “
