The United Kingdom, through BBC, announced on October 16th 2024 their Eurovision 2025 entry would be, once again, internally selected. On 7 March 2025, during The Scott Mills Breakfast Show, Remember Monday were officially confirmed as the British representatives with the song "What the Hell Just Happened?"
Remember Monday is a country-pop girl band consisting of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele. The band first gained attention in 2019 when they competed on the UK edition of "The Voice," where they were coached by Jennifer Hudson. They've since released two EPs and 12 singles.
“What the Hell Just Happened?” was co-written by the band members along with Julie Aagaard, Kes Kamara, Sam Brennan, Thomas Stengaard, and Tom Hollings.
“What the Hell Just Happened?” is an upbeat pop track with a mix of genres, including country-pop, power pop, and synth-pop. The lyrics chronicles the aftermath of a fun night out with friends, showcasing the band's humor, relatability, and signature harmonies. Some fans compare it to Queen's iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" due to its mix of styles and tempos.
This song moves between upbeat verses and a slower, anthemic chorus and is obviously designed to showcase the vocal harmony strength, which so well characterizes the band.
As for current reviews and betting odds, it appears this song will not be the United Kingdom’s 6th Eurovision winner. But… who knows? Maybe, after the show on May 17th, many people will be surprised and say … “WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?”
