UK Eurovision 2025 Hopefuls Remember Monday Say: ‘We’d Be Mad Not To’

UK country-pop trio Remember Monday has emerged as a hopeful act for Eurovision 2025, expressing enthusiasm and determination to take the stage. The group described the opportunity as too good to miss, signaling their strong interest in representing the UK in the international song contest. Known for their harmonies and vibrant style, Remember Monday aims to bring fresh energy and passion to the competition, hoping to make a mark on Eurovision’s global platform.

The trio joke around and chat with Kate Solomon about their Eurovision song “What the Hell Just Happened?”, steering clear of the dreaded nul points, sharing stories of wild nights and matching tattoos.

Draped across a streamer-covered sofa, the three members of the UK’s Eurovision hopeful band are squeezed into tight corsets, full of energy and silliness. As Holly-Anne Hull excitedly claims, “We feel like we’ve won already!”, she quickly squabbles with bandmate Lauren Byrne over a misplaced water bottle, sparking playful teasing about a fictional lip fungus that sends them into fits of laughter.

Lauren jokingly complains, worried about her image as the only single member, prompting Charlotte to explain that Holly used to break stage-kiss tension by warning scene partners about the imaginary fungus, a typical theatre-kid antic meant to add humor.

Of course, there’s no fungus; the group is healthy and in high spirits. After over a decade of chasing musical success with harmonies and a love of fun, they see Eurovision as another big step forward. The band members bonded over musical theatre in college, naming themselves after the free period, Monday, when they would rehearse together.

Their journey included competing on The Voice in 2019 with a country-style Seal cover and teaming up with Jennifer Hudson, followed by years of modestly received country-pop releases, touring, and a reality check from Nashville about their genre identity. In 2023, they finally quit their jobs to go all-in on music.

Eurovision propelled them to new heights. From December 2024 to March 2025, they worked intensely on crafting songs with industry talents like Billen Ted, Kill J, and Thomas Stengaard. Though they expected to submit a ballad, they instead chose a bold, theatrical anthem influenced by Queen, blending dramatic flair, humor, harmonies, and echoes of their country past.

The song reflects their own wild adventures, including many nights ending in tattoo parlors. They've already got five matching tattoos and plan to get more, especially if they make Eurovision’s top five.

Releasing the song brought joy through streaming milestones and mainstream radio play, a big deal for a band not used to such exposure. Their hotel interview setting, decked out like a party aftermath, mirrored their anything-goes spirit. Eurovision could flop, but they’re embracing the thrill of it all.

The risks were considered, what if they bomb and get nul points? “We’d be mad not to do it,” Lauren admits. Holly adds that while they hope for the best, they’re grounded by friendship and ready to handle whatever comes. Their close bond, strengthened by years of shared experiences and even being bridesmaids, gives them emotional armor.

Their grounded approach and maturity help them cope with sudden fame. They laugh off insults by turning them into TikTok harmonies and say the support outweighs any negativity. Holly jokes that each day feels like a gift, and Charlotte adds that being recognized solo feels surreal.

They’re adjusting to fame’s quirks, like being overheard on trains while chatting freely, often forgetting they’re now public figures. That reality hits again post-interview when the journalist hears them analyzing the conversation as she walks past.

Their story, with all its ups and downs, could be the script of a coming-of-age movie. With advice from past contestants like Olly Alexander and Lucy Jones to savor every second, they’re living the dream moment by moment.

Should they score high or finish last, the band and their team are committed to marking the moment with tattoos of the acronym “WTHJH?”, a permanent nod to their Eurovision ride. Holly even suggests they’ll ink up either way, top five or not.

Four months ago, they were nervously waiting for the call confirming their Eurovision fate. Despite several delays, the big question eventually came: “What are you doing in May 2025?” Their wide-eyed reply? “Whyyyy?”

In today’s tightly controlled media world, most pop star interviews feel staged. But with Remember Monday, nothing is hidden, not even imaginary ailments. They’re refreshingly candid, silly, and united, and they’re soaking up every moment.
