The BBC confirmed the news this morning (March 7), with Scott Mills announcing it on his Radio 2 show. He was joined by Remember Monday, who describe themselves as “pop girlies with a lil bit of yeehaw”, and played their track on the radio for the first time.
Remember Monday’s track is propelled by strong vocals and beautifully blended harmonies and narrates the aftermath of a fun night out with friends. Check it out below.
“‘What The Hell Just Happened?’ is exactly how we’re feeling right now,” the trio said in a press statement. “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!”
