UK’s Eurovision 2025 act Remember Monday have revealed the song they will be performing with at the competition.
The Sun revealed last month that girl group Remember Monday will be flying the flag for Brits come May.

The country trio joined Scott Mills in the Radio 2 studio to play their anthem What the Hell Just Happened?
The band told listeners: “Honestly, we feel like we’re on another planet, nothing’s sinking in, to be honest I think it’s just sunk in then, the lead up… You said ‘the global stage’ and I was like, ‘wait, what!’
Band member Lauren Bryne said: “We met at sixth form college a few years ago and, essentially, we always had free periods on a Monday which is when we just used to get together and sing and then that turned into us singing every single day of the week and not going to our classes and our teacher used to come and find us in random spare classrooms and knock on the door and be like, ‘Girls are you coming into class today?’ and we were like, ‘No Jenny, we’re just going to stay in here, sorry!’
“So we did that for years and years and it kind of became a little in joke that it was always happening on a Monday so that’s where Remember Monday was born and, yeah, about a year and a bit ago, we packed in the day job and went full time and it’s going OK! [laughs]. Here we are.
On hearing the song played live for the first time, they said: “That is crazy, we’ll cry later!”
Scott then got Jenny – their Performing Arts teacher from school – on the phone.
The host said: “They used to skip your class all the time?”
Teacher Jenny said: “Well yeah, but I used to let them get away with it ’cause they were that good… Congratulations girls I’m so thrilled for you. The song is amazing.”
The band continued: “You’re the reason we’re here together. We talk about you every single day, honestly, we genuinely do.”
Jenny praised the girls as a “natural talent, just incredible voices, incredible ears and just wonderful, lovely girls”.
The girls replied: Jennyyyyyy, we love you!
While Eurovision Rylan left a message saying: “Tell them I can’t wait for a night out with the girls!”
It’s a stark contrast to last year when Years and Years frontman Olly Alexander represented the UK with pop song Dizzy.
A source said: “As ever behind the scenes competition has been fierce to represent the UK.
“This year bosses have opted to shake things up and send a female trio, Remember Monday.
“The song is a stark change from Olly Alexander last year but the girls are sure to get the nation behind them.”
The British country pop trio is made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele.
It’s not the first time the group have found themselves in a televised singing competition.
In 2019 they took part in The Voice and caught the eye of BBC Radio 2 Breakfast host Scott Mills when they were played on the station last year.
They have also performed at a string of major UK events including Country to Country, The Long Road and Buckle and Boots.
Remember Monday have also amassed a following of 524,000 followers on TikTok alone.
