🇬🇧 Meet Remember Monday: The UK’s First Girl Group at Eurovision Since 1999
Remember Monday—comprised of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele—are longtime friends who met at The Sixth Form College Farnborough. They gained national attention after reaching the quarter-finals of The Voice UK in 2019 under the mentorship of Jennifer Hudson. Their Eurovision entry marks the first time a girl group has represented the UK since Precious in 1999.

🎶 About the Song: “What the Hell Just Happened?”
Co-written by the band alongside Julie Aagaard, Kes Kamara, Sam Brennan, Thomas Stengaard, and Tom Hollings, “What the Hell Just Happened?” is a high-energy country-pop anthem that narrates the aftermath of a wild night out. The lyrics humorously depict scenarios like waking up in last night’s makeup, discovering new tattoos, and jumping into pools from rooftops. The song blends powerful harmonies with theatrical flair, drawing comparisons to acts like Queen and Girls Aloud. Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2Diario AS+2EurovisionworldThe Times
