The United Kingdom is going through a terrible streak in terms of its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, as can be seen from those last and penultimate positions, as well as other slightly more honorable ones, which it has garnered in the contest throughout over the last ten years.
However, the complicated relationship between the contest and its British representatives could come to an end thanks to the intermediation of a Swedish band, nothing less than the legendary ABBA . And it is that the main composers and producers of the formation, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson , have made clear their desire to write a theme for the festival , as epic and danceable as his most emblematic songs, with the only condition that the person in charge of defending him on stage is Dua Lipa , one of the most successful pop stars in the industry.
In a spontaneous conversation with the morning show of the BBC , Ulvaeus and Andersson expressed their willingness to compose the song after a little debate between them. “A song for the UK? I don’t know, it would depend on the artist, “said Ulvaeus at first, to which Andersson replied:” But what is there to lose? You can’t finish worse than last place ”, he argued.
Later, and after insisting on the idea that the vocalist should always be at the height of a great song, both agreed that the ideal person to represent the United Kingdom with a single by ABBA could not be other than the great diva that has emerged from her recording scene in the last decade. “It has to be someone really good… Dua Lipa ?” Björn asked before Benny nodded enthusiastically: “¡¡ Yes! ”
