Mae Muller has been announced as this year's UK Eurovision entrant.

The musician, who hails from Kentish Town, London, will be flying the British flag in Liverpool in May with her upbeat track, I Wrote A Song.

While the news was formally announced on the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show on Thursday morning, the 25-year-old singer followed it up with an excited tweet.

'GUYS!!! I cannot believe I’m even saying this… but I am this year's UK entry for @Eurovision 2023 with my track I Wrote A Song!!!

'EUROVISION 2023 LET'S GO! LIVERPOOL I WILL SEE YOU VERY SOON #Eurovision2023'.

I Wrote A Song - which Mae co-wrote alongside Lewis Thompson and Karen Poole - was inspired by a want to feel empowered by relationships.

Mae wrote on TikTok, 'This song is for the girlies that went through heartache, hurt or pain and came out of the other side, who persevered and came out stronger, who took the high road and chose to love themselves.

'Crying at home? Absolutely not. Spend the night at home? It’s a no from me. It’s giving growth. It’s giving empowerment. It’s giving liberation.'

What Are The Lyrics To I Wrote A Song?

Here are some of the 'giving liberation' elements Mae was referring to.

I got so mad was gonna
Cuss you out outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz
Tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me.

Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Mе and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrotе a song.
