Meet Mae Muller - she's been chosen as the United Kingdom's entry for Eurovision 2023!
The 25-year-old will be performing her own track called 'I Wrote A Song' at the competition in Liverpool in May.
She'll be hoping to follow the success of Sam Ryder who came second in the competition last year.
Mae is the first female entrant for the UK since 2018, when the artist SuRie competed with Storm and came 24th.

How was the UK's Eurovision entry chosen?
Mae Muller was chosen by 鶹Լ bosses and global management company TaP Music, which has counted Lana Del Rey and Ellie Goulding among its clients.
It's the same way last year's singer, Sam Ryder, was chosen as the UK entrant - and look how successful that was!
All of the 37 competing countries will have to confirm the song and act they'll be sending to Liverpool by 13 March and most already have.
Usually Eurovision entries are either chosen this way behind the scenes, but some countries (including the UK in the past) hold a TV show with the winner getting to perform at the competition.
