Eurovision fans are split over their thoughts of this year's UK entry, which has been announced as girl band Remember Monday with their fast-paced tune, What The Hell Just Happened?
The country pop band reached the quarter-final of The Voice UK in 2019 and now has half a million followers on TikTok.
This year's Eurovision is set to be held in Basel, Switzerland, with Scott Mills having confirmed the highly-anticipated news on BBC Radio 2 on Friday morning.
Listeners soon took to social media to share their thoughts, and while some feel positive about the entry, others deemed it "torture to the ears".
Taking to X to react to a leak of the track before Mills' announcement, one Eurovision fan admitted: "On a serious note. What the hell just happened. This isn’t a good song for them. Prove me right should have been their song."
"If this leak is right, then UK will be at 26th place in ESC," another shared, writing on X on Thursday night as the song circulated as the leaked entry.
"ITS OKAY BUT IT COULD [HAVE] BEEN SO MUCH MORE..." a third commented.
Another simply wrote: "Snoozefest," with one review reading: "Actual torture to the ears. No thanks."

"Well that's not gonna win. I've listened to it twice and already forgotten about it. No shade to the girls singing it, it's just background music," one more remarked.
However, others were instant fans, with someone else sharing: "It's not something I'd listen to, but this will be fantastic for Eurovision!"
"I love it. It’s giving me Queen vibes. I think the staging for this is going to be fun! And they can sing!" another penned. (sic)
Last year, actor and singer Olly Alexander represented the UK in Sweden with his entry, Dizzy.
He bagged the UK the position of 18th in the Eurovision with the track, receiving no points from the public vote.
The UK was the only country not to receive a single point from the public vote in an embarrassing result for the then-33-year-old.
The song managed to receive 46 points from the participating countries' juries though, placing him in 18th place on the leaderboard.
Speaking recently, Alexander admitted it was "brutal" to face the harsh judging in last year's event.
"I can't lie, there were some ups and downs," he remarked last month on ITV's This Morning.
He reflected: "I mean obviously, I grew up watching Eurovision and I love it so much, so getting to be on the inside was deeply fascinating and amazing because it's so wild, there's nothing in the world like Eurovision.
"But it was definitely a rollercoaster, I can't lie. There were some ups and downs."

On the scoring, he added: "It's quite brutal. It's a competition, so people judge you really, really harshly and I get that, but the voting's quite brutal.
"When they announced on the night the zero points from the public, we were like, 'Oh God, of course'. But you've just got to take those things and grow from it."
