She will be the first female performer in the UK since 2018, taking to the stage in Liverpool to perform her song Who Wrote a Song.
The news was revealed on BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show this morning, but who is May Mueller, the artist chosen by the BBC bosses and global management TaP Music to represent the UK.
May said: “I’m so excited to be at Eurovision this year and represent the UK! I’ve loved watching Eurovision my whole life so to be competing in such a huge music competition is simply amazing.
“I am a huge fan of the many artists who have achieved success at Eurovision, from ABBA to Måneskin! Sam Ryder was absolutely fantastic last year and proved the UK can get back to the left side of the leaderboard.
“I wrote the song I wrote a song a few months ago when I was going through hard times and wanted to feel strong about relationships, so being chosen for this year’s UK Eurovision song is honestly a dream.”
Who is May Mueller?
Mueller, 25, was 19 when she wrote her first song, Close, which was produced by a family friend and “paid” for with wine instead of money.

Mueller’s early musical influences included Prince and Sade – while in more recent years Gwen Stefani, Florence Welch and Lily Allen have influenced her.
Her releases to date have explored “dysfunctional relationships and disturbing sensibilities with wit and exuberance,” according to record label Capitol.
In recent years, she’s worked with a chart-topping girl group, including girl group Little Mix, rapper Aitch, music producer, and DJ Sigala.
Her 2021 single Better Days, featuring Neiked and Polo G, peaked at number 32 in the UK charts.
Muller has 126,000 followers on Instagram and more than 6.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

In 2019, she supported Little Mix on the LM5 Tour – their last tour to feature former member Jesy Nelson.
The north London-raised singer will be the first woman to enter the UK since SuRie competed in 2018 with Storm, who comes in 24th.
When is Eurovision 2023 and where will it be held?
Eurovision is set to take place in Liverpool after the UK was chosen to host the contest on behalf of war-torn Ukraine.
Tickets for the grand final, which will be played at the 11,000-capacity Liverpool Arena later this year, sold out on Tuesday and sold out in just over half an hour.
While some fans celebrated after being able to secure tickets, others expressed sympathy after encountering technical difficulties when trying to purchase tickets through the Ticketmaster website.
Eurovision is set to air on the BBC and will be hosted by British Got Talent singer and judge Alesha Dixon, actress Ted Lasso Hannah Waddingham and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, as well as favorite comedian and talk show host Graham Norton.
The evening semi-final preview kicks off at 8pm on May 8th, with the competition’s grand final live show ending at 8pm on May 13th.
