Eurovision 2023: Mae Muller to represent the UK with I Wrote A Song
Mae Muller will represent the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with her newly-released pop banger I Wrote A Song. Following an “extensive” search for Sam Ryder’s successor – “headed by 2023 partners the global music management and publishing company TaP Music” – the news was revealed by Zoe Ball on the Radio 2 Breakfast show on Thursday (9 March).
At 8:55pm, Muller will give her first exclusive interview with Scott Mills on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The British singer-songwriter, from London, is best known for featuring on Neiked’s 2021 nu-disco/funk anthem Better Days, which reached the top 40 in both the UK and has been streamed over a billion times.
In a statement, Muller said: “I’m SO excited to participate in Eurovision this year and represent the UK! I’ve loved watching Eurovision all my life, so to compete in such a massive music competition is simply brilliant. “I’m a huge fan of so many of the artists that have found success at Eurovision, from ABBA to Måneskin!
Sam Ryder was so amazing last year and proved the UK can be back on the left-hand side of the leader board!” I Wrote A Song, which features writing credits from Lewis Thompson and Karen Poole, came to fruition “a few months ago” when Muller was “going through a hard time and wanted to feel empowered about relationships”.
