Explore the heartfelt cover of 'Husavik (My Hometown)' by UK Eurovision hopefuls Remember Monday and their journey to the Eurovision stage.

A Fresh Take on a Beloved Song

Exciting news for Eurovision fans! The UK hopefuls, Remember Monday, have just dropped a captivating cover of the spoof song “Husavik (My Hometown)” from the Netflix comedy film The Story Of Fire Saga. This release marks a significant moment for the trio, who are the first girl-group to represent the UK since Precious finished 12th back in 1999. Since that time, the UK has only made it into the Top 10 three times, the last being when Sam Ryder secured second place three years ago.

A Journey in Music

Last March, the talented trio, consisting of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, released the catchy single “What the Hell Just Happened?”. This track went on to become their first to surpass one million streams on Spotify, showcasing their growing popularity and musical talent.

Earlier today, they unveiled their cover of “Husavik (My Hometown)”, originally performed by Will Ferrell and Molly Sandén in the film. The music video for their cover was filmed in the picturesque city of Husavik, Iceland, adding a personal touch to their rendition.

"We’ve never seen anywhere as beautiful with our own eyes! It was the most emotional we’ve ever been from the second we took off to the moment we left," the band expressed in a press statement, reflecting on their experience. "We were crying because it was just the most incredible experience."

Nostalgia and Friendship

The cover holds a special place in their hearts. “It makes us think about our hometown and the fact that we’ve been friends for such a long time. The song feels quite nostalgic, and that’s how we feel a lot of the time about our friendship.”

A Musical Bond Since 2012

The trio's journey began back in 2012 when they met at sixth form college. Since then, they have come a long way! They participated in The Voice UK in 2019, garnered a significant following on TikTok during the pandemic, and even toured the UK with sold-out shows last year.

Their recent hit “What the Hell Just Happened?” blends Queen-influenced glam rock with power-pop, showcasing a shift from their previous country-tinged tracks like “Laugh About It” and “What The Girls’ Bathroom Is For.”

Looking Forward to Eurovision

Excitingly, Remember Monday is set to compete in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest, airing live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on May 17. The stakes are high for these talented women, and they’re aiming for the top!

Byrne shared their ambitious goal: “We have a deal with our entire team – like, 30 people have shook on this deal – that if we finish in the top five, everyone is getting a ‘WTHJH?’ tattoo.”
