Eurovision 2026 song entry unveiled for UK by artist Look Mum No Computer – and it's making history

The UK's Eurovision entrant, Look Mum No Computer, has unveiled the song he will be taking to the contest and it'll certainly get audiences on their feet.

The song – Eins, Zwei, Drei – is about escaping the soul-crushing boredom of the nine to five, into a world of dreams and endless possibilities.

The chorus is partially sung in German, making it the first UK entry for a Eurovision song not to be exclusively sung in English in 68 years.

"I am absolutely buzzing that the world can finally hear what we have created," Look Mum No Computer (real name Sam Battle) said. "Eins, Zwei, Drei was born during a session with the other writers and producers on my synthesiser Kosmo, and I couldn’t be prouder of it."

He continued: "I want people to be able to dance, shout, singalong, and just embrace the absurd jubilation that I hope it sparks when you listen to it. We’re working hard on pulling together all the elements to make it one of the wildest performances to ever grace the Eurovision stage, which is no small feat! See you in Vienna!"

The song has already received positive reviews, with the BBC's Mark Savage describing it as "delightfully, mesmerisingly bonkers".

Meanwhile, fans in the comment section of the YouTube music video have said: "It is very British. And that's very cool. Finally something unique from UK."

"This entire thing is such a fever dream and I love it," one user added, while another wrote: "I wouldn't have thought that UK would be my favourite this year... 12 points from Lithuania."

The UK's very own Eurovision experts have all given glowing reviews of the song, with Graham Norton saying: "This year’s song is a real banger. Joyful and supremely catchy. Hopefully it can get the rest of Europe singing along."

Sara Cox commented: "It's a rousing, foot stomping anthem that’s like the wild rebellious offspring of '80s new wave and a big fat dirty beat. It grabs you by the ears and is insanely catchy. I think it’s a brave, bold and exciting choice."

The BBC has also announced that creative director and choreographer Fredrik 'Benke' Rydman will be bringing the performance to life in Austria in May.

Rydman is responsible for some of the most iconic Eurovision performances in recent memory, including the staging of Switzerland's 2024 winner, Nemo, with The Code, Finland's 2023 runner-up, Käärijä, with Cha Cha Cha, and Sweden's 2015 winner, Måns Zelmerlöw, with Heroes.

There will be a number of countries boycotting the contest this year after the decision to allow Israel to compete.

There had been calls from multiple participating nations for Israel to be banned from the contest due to the ongoing war in Gaza. But in December 2025, the European Broadcasting Union declined to expel the country from competing.

At the time of reporting, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Iceland have confirmed they will not be taking part in Eurovision.

In response to the multiple boycotts, the BBC said in a statement: "We support the collective decision made by members of the EBU. This is about enforcing the rules of the EBU and being inclusive."

Eurovision 2026's grand final takes place on Saturday 16 May with coverage across the BBC.
