Flying the flag for the UK at Eurovision 2025, Remember Monday delivered a fierce, unapologetically female-powered performance with their track “What the Hell Just Happened?”. It marked the first time since 1999 that a girl group has represented Britain — and what a return it was.
The trio – Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele – met at school and have been harmonising ever since. They first made a splash in 2019 on The Voice UK, but Basel has taken them to an entirely new stage.
Their entry is a country-pop anthem full of swagger and storytelling, chronicling the emotional wreckage of a chaotic night. Co-written with Julie Aagaard, Kez Kamara, Sam Brennan and Tom Hollings, the song blends razor-sharp lyrics with soaring harmonies. “It’s the soundtrack to a film you lived but can’t quite remember,” the band said in a recent interview.
Visually, the performance was theatrical and cinematic — opening in a Regency-style boudoir before descending into stylised chaos with a falling chandelier, and closing in a moment of quiet reflection. Their styling fused Bridgerton elegance with Moulin Rouge flair — corsets, sequins and velvet drama all included.
In a year filled with genre diversity and high-stakes staging, Remember Monday stood out — vocally strong, visually bold, and undeniably authentic. Both fans and critics have responded warmly, praising the trio’s charisma and the British edge they brought to the show.
Whether they match the heights of Katrina and the Waves or simply give the UK its best result in years, one thing’s certain: Britain has re-entered the Eurovision chat — and this time, the conversation is female-led, confident, and refreshingly bold.
