It is a unique song with a very energetic rhythm and has a tribal feel to it. I think the melody and the lyrics come together to form a very beautiful and inspirational message that is relatable to everyone.


RAYA – Crazy

Composers: Emil Rosendal Lei, Greta Salóme Stefánsdóttir, Samir Salah Elshafie

RAYA revealed more about her song:

It’s extremely catchy and upbeat with a really fresh and commercial feel. It’s all about that new guy or girl who you can’t get out of your head no matter how hard you try.


Liam Tamne – Astronaut

Composers: Ashley Hicklin, Jacob Pedersen, Jeanette Bonde, Rune Braager

About his Eurovision bidd, Liam Tamne revealed:

It’s a great song and I believe many people can relate to it. The message will resonate with a lot of people, as we all need that someone at some point in our lives to pick us up and whisk us away.


Jaz Ellington – You

Composers: Ashley Hicklin, Herman Gardarfve, Laura White

Jaz Ellington discussed the story behind his bidding song:

The song is a story of two people in a relationship. The person telling the story compares everything his partner does, to the one he truly loves. It’s beautiful and yet sad at the same time, I just love it. #audiblegold.


SuRie – Storm

Composers: Nicole Blair, Gil Lewis, Sean Hargreaves

SuRie unveiled more about her song for Eurovision: You Decide:

Storm is a smash! It’s a dynamic combination of a more intimate, piano lead, singer songwriter style start, building into this anthemic, soulful pop party!

National final next month

Eurovision: You Decide will take place at the Brighton Dome on the 7 February, hosted by presenting duo Mel Giedroyc and Måns Zelmerlöw.

The British Eurovision representative will be determined via a 50/50 combined public televote and jury vote, with the jury panel set to appear on the show to offer their advice and critique to each participant.

The United Kingdom will automatically compete in the grand final of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest on the 12 May as a Big 5 member.
