Eurovision's New Queens Remember Monday Silence Critics with TikTok Triumph
Olivia Bennett, 3/10/2025Remember Monday transforms Eurovision skepticism into TikTok triumph with their catchy announcement track "What The Hell Just Happened?" As Britain's first girl group entry in decades, they blend humor and creativity, promising a fresh and energetic performance for Eurovision 2025.
Oh darlings, grab your popcorn because Britain's latest Eurovision saga is serving up delicious drama with a side of social media genius. Remember Monday — our plucky trio of Eurovision hopefuls — just delivered a masterclass in turning Twitter trolls into TikTok gold. And honestly? We're living for every harmonized second of it.
The group (that's Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steel, for those keeping score) dropped their Eurovision 2025 announcement with a track called "What The Hell Just Happened?" — which, let's be real, perfectly captures Britain's entire Eurovision experience these past few decades.
Now, anyone who's spent five minutes in the Eurovision universe knows the drill: announce your participation, brace for impact, watch the comments section explode. But darling, these ladies didn't just brace for impact — they transformed those digital daggers into pure entertainment gold.
Picture this: there they were, facing the usual tsunami of skepticism (because heaven forbid Britain actually sends someone promising to Eurovision), when they pulled off something rather brilliant. They took those deliciously bitter comments — including the absolutely precious "yep we're getting 0 points again..." — and turned them into a harmonized masterpiece that's equal parts shade and sparkle. The result? A TikTok moment that's got even the cynics slow-clapping.
Let's pause for a historical moment, shall we? Remember Monday is about to become Britain's first girl group Eurovision entry since 1999. That's right — the last time the UK sent a girl group to Eurovision, TikTok wasn't even a twinkle in Silicon Valley's eye, and half their fan base was probably still in diapers.
Their journey reads like a modern fairy tale with a social media twist — from catching Jennifer Hudson's eye on The Voice UK to amassing a casual half-million TikTok followers. Their sound? Think country-pop-rock fusion that's about as far from Eurovision's typical schlager-pop as you can get. And maybe, just maybe, that's exactly what we need.
They're following Olly Alexander's somewhat respectable 18th place finish last year (not quite the glory days, but miles better than the dreaded "nil points" we don't talk about). But something feels different this time. Maybe it's their savvy handling of critics, or perhaps it's their promise to "bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won't have seen before on the Eurovision stage" — a promise that, for once, doesn't sound like PR-speak.
Sure, every Eurovision act promises something "never seen before" (darling, we've seen it all, trust me). But Remember Monday's creative clap-back suggests they might actually have something fresh tucked away in those sequined sleeves of theirs.
As we hurtle toward Eurovision 2025, one thing's crystal clear: these ladies understand that in the modern Eurovision landscape, winning the social media game is half the battle. Whether they'll bring home that coveted crystal microphone remains to be seen, but they've already mastered the art of turning criticism into content — and in three-part harmony, no less.
Now that's what we call hitting all the right notes, both literally and metaphorically. Iconic behavior? Absolutely. Eurovision worthy? Well, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
