The 2023 Eurovision Song Contest is less than two months away, and preparations are well underway. The BBC has revealed who will be presenting during the week (hello, Hannah Waddingham), the theme has been chosen (United by Music), and at long last, we have our UK Eurovision entry. Liverpool is proudly displaying its badge as host city. On March 9, Mae Muller made a special appearance on BBC Radio 2 to announce that she will be representing the UK with her song, “I Wrote a Song.”
Muller is up for the challenge despite the fact that replicating the UK’s most successful Eurovision entry this century is no easy task. The difference between her song and Sam Ryder’s “Spaceman,” which won the UK second place at Eurovision 2022 in Turin last year. Instead of rock influences and a live electric guitar, Muller is aiming to win her way into the hearts of Eurovision audiences with a dancey pop diss track.
In the enjoyable, catchy song “I Wrote a Song,” Muller sings about how she dealt with a cheating ex-boyfriend leaving her. Its hypnotic rhythmic synth beats create something that would blend in with the usual eclectic, campy songs that are associated with Eurovision.
who is Muller, though? Muller is experienced in the field even though she isn’t yet a household name. Muller has been working to carve out her place in the British pop scene since she turned 19 six years ago, and she has distinguished herself as one of the UK’s most intriguing up-and-coming stars right now. She has backed popular performers in recent years like Liam Payne and Little Mix.
She was given opportunities to perform on US shows like “The Voice” and “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” thanks to Little Mix and Liam Payne’s tour and the popularity of her song “Better Days” with Neiked and Polo G.
Even if you don’t recognize her from those accomplishments, you might have accidentally seen her. When she was just nine years old, the star had her first experience in the business when she appeared in the music video for Mika’s classic 2000s hit, “Grace Kelly.” Here is everything you need to know about Mae Muller, whether you are already a fan or are eager to become one in the years leading up to the 2023 Eurovision.
