The BBC has announced that country-pop trio Remember Monday will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel. Their entry, “What The Hell Just Happened?”, has also been released.
The UK’s Eurovision Act
On Friday 7 March, the BBC officially revealed that Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, known collectively as Remember Monday, will take to the Eurovision stage in Basel this May.
Their song, “What The Hell Just Happened?”, is a lively country-pop track that captures the chaos and excitement of a fun night out. The music video premiered on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel, marking the first time fans could hear the track.
Speaking about their selection, Remember Monday 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 girl band 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!

The London-based trio first gained national attention in 2019, when they competed in The Voice UK, making it to the Quarter-Finals under the mentorship of Jennifer Hudson. Hudson continues to support them, even inviting the group to perform on her US chat show last year.
Known for their three-part harmonies, Remember Monday have built a strong following through viral social media performances, particularly on TikTok, where they have over 500,000 followers and 11.3 million likes.
Musical Theatre Roots
Before committing to their band full-time in 2023, all three members had successful careers in musical theatre:
• Holly-Anne Hull performed in Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera.
• Charlotte Steele appeared in Mary Poppins.
• Lauren Byrne starred in Matilda and played a lead role in the UK tour of SIX The Musical.
The group has performed at major UK festivals, including Country to Country, Buckle and Boots, and The Long Road. They have released two EPs and 12 singles, with their empowering lyrics and country-pop sound drawing comparisons to acts like The Chicks, Pistol Annies, and Dolly Parton.
In 2024, they received national airplay on BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills Afternoon Show, and last year, they completed their first sold-out UK tour.
United Kingdom at Eurovision
Remember Monday will be the first girl group to represent the UK at Eurovision since 1999. The UK last won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997 with Love Shine a Light by Katrina and the Waves.
They will be hoping to improve on the UK’s recent results and bring their unique country-pop energy to the Eurovision stage in Basel.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 takes place in Basel, Switzerland, with the Grand Final on Saturday 10 May.
lyrics “What The Hell Just Happened?” by Remember Monday
Someone lost a shoe
I’m still in last night’s make up
I’m waking up like, “What’s this new tattoo?”
Room is spinning, ears are ringing
Clutch my pearls like
What the hell just happened?
What the hell just happened?
No clue, but l liked it
(One, two, one, two, three)
Broke a heel, lost my keys, scraped my knee
When I fell from the chandelier
Oh, what a night, I don’t mind, it was time
To unwind and I volunteered
Look at me now (Look at me now)
I’m like usually keep it clean
Beauty sleep, sip my tea
What the hell just happened?
What the hell just happened?
Went up on the roof, jumped into the pool
You should do it too, too, too, too
What the hell just happened?
No clue, but l liked it
Ripped my dress, call an ex, I confess
I’m obsessed, not the best idea
Woo-ooh, I’m a mess, it’s a trend, in my defence
It’s been a real hard year
Freedom, I wanna shave my head, oh
Freedom, I’ll paint the whole town red, oh
Freedom, I wanna kiss a stranger
What the hell just happened? Woo-ooh
What the hell just happened?
What the hell just happened? (Yeah)
What the hell just happened? (Ooh-ooh)
Went up on the roof (Hey), jumped into the pool (Hey)
You should do it too, too, too, too (Oh, you should do it too)
I know that I’m a wreck (Hey), what did you expect?
You can blame my e-e-ex
What the hell juѕt hаppened?
No clue, but l liked it
