The girls are already through to this weekend's Eurovision Grand Final 2025, as the UK is part of the contest's 'Big Five'.
But fans are worried.
Viewers are convinced Remember Monday was hit with sound problems during their performance.
Taking to social media, some Eurovision fans were even left wondering if Holly-Anne was having issues with her earpiece.
Writing on Instagram, one said: "One of the girl's in-ears clearly not working so they were off and microphones too quiet, poor show from the technical team!"
Another added: "Was it the girl in pink? I thought something sounded off."
A third chimed in: "Glad it wasn't just me who thought this!"
And someone else said they "totally agreed".
This year mark's Eurovision's 69th year of the contest.
Remember Monday will be hoping to bring it home for the UK with their pop song What The Hell Just Happened?.
Watch girl band Remember Monday's track to represent the UK at Eurovision 2024
Lauren, Holly-Anne and Charlotte have been friends since they met at college in Farnborough, Hants, 10 years ago.
The band were internally selected by the BBC to represent the UK having previously gained national attention after appearing on The Voice UK.
More than 160million people globally are expected to tune in to watch them, along with this year's other 25 acts.
Speaking with The Sun this week, Remember Monday revealed they've hired a therapist to combat hate-filled trolls.
Lauren told us: 'You just have to accept as an artist that what you do isn't going to be loved by everyone.
'There are people out there that don't like Taylor Swift. I think they're a bit crazy, but they do exist. So, you know, we can't be for everyone and that's fine.'
They are the first girl group to represent the UK since Precious, who finished in 12th place in 1999 with Say It Again.
Holly explained: 'We're a band that have been together for over 14 years and we pride ourselves in our genuine friendship.
"I think that's our superpower — how much we love each other and no matter what happens, we'll still be solid at the end of it.
'We're absolutely buzzing that this is an experience we get to do together. Who else gets to do this with their two best mates?'
The girls' comments come after previous UK entry Mae Muller said she was unable to get out of bed after coming second to last in 2023.
Last year's Olly Alexander, who came 18th, also said his best advice to this year's hopefuls is: 'Get a good therapist.'

MAFS star reveals she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight after being bodyshamed on show and by trolls
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MARRIED At First Sight star has revealed she's been subject to "shame" after opting to use fat jabs to lose weight. The E4 favourite, who featured in the Australian version of the matchmaking series, told of her "frustration" at more traditional methods which failed to have an impact on her wellbeing. 6 A MAFS star has revealed she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 It came after Katie Johnston had been body-shamed by groom Tim Gromie on the E$ show Credit: Nine 6 Restaurant CEO Katie told how she had been hit with 'shame' due to her weight loss method Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct. MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do - as he insisted she was nothing like what he "would have wanted". Having pulled a producer to the side, he exclaimed: "What the f***?" He continued: "Totally not what I wanted. "It's not good. I normally go just short, blonde. petite. "Katie is like nothing that I would normally go for." After the body-shaming on screen, restaurant CEO Katie told how she was using "scientific help" for her weight loss - because "that's what it's there for." In a piece to camera filmed outside, she told fans: "I have initially started my GLP1 journey with quite a bit of shame wrapped around it. "Because I was frustrated that I couldn't do it myself and I just didn't have the capacity to figure it out on my own. MAFS' Katie breaks down in tears in upsetiting scenes with Tim "And I utilised scientific help and that's what it's there for. "So it's anything, any meds that you use to help you control parts of yourself like for example anti anxieties, I've used anti anxieties for really bad times in my life that I couldn't cope." GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It also plays a role in slowing down digestion, and is often a treatment used to help Type 2 Diabetes. The star, whose show groom rudely confessed he wanted to "run away" during the experiment ultimately ended up quitting the series. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." Yet Queensland native Katie has gained a legion of loyal fans since appearing on-air, who appreciate her cheery character and bubbly, positive personality. Though showing how the backlash towards fat jabs had hit a nerve, she said in her long clip: "OK I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant because I'm frustrated and that's what I do when I'm frustrated. "I'm over people being shamed for using GLP1 or any other method of weight loss. "Anything that people do is their choice and it's up to them and only you know your path and what got you into the position you are and the help that you need. "Only you know that. Sorry about my b****y state "But just be kind to yourself. She rounded off with the words: "So please don't let the narrative out there that it's so easy to lose weight and just eat well, just exercise well. "Just be more motivated, have more discipline - go away! Leave us alone. We're figuring it out. "We are giving ourselves breathing space to be able to implement new habits and learn new things and transition our life to a healthier life. "So help us on our journey and cheer us on instead of giving us a hard time, thank you." She captioned the video: "Dear THAT person, go away, we are all on our own path, you do you, " and one fan replied: "You are so right Katie and I love you either way and you will always be my fave girl x" A second put: "Love this message," as a third posted: "Screw them loves you are amazing and you are rocking it." One then added: "You just keep being You XOXO." Another surmised: "Just keep being you and good luck in your next wellbeing journey everyone needs little help now and again be kind to yourself and ignore the negativity of people xx" SHOW STORY Since her show stint which aired in the UK earlier this year, it emerged her groom Tim had been messaging another bride during their honeymoon. During the scenes, fans were convinced the tattooed star who had an extreme reluctance to talk about his own marriage was a producer "plant." Tim told their co-stars at the Dinner Party he felt he was making the most effort in their relationship, having struggled to find a connection with her - despite scenes showing the exact opposite playing out on screen. It left Katie's fellow bride Jamie furious as she defended Katie and branded Tim a 'gaslighter'. 6 She has opted for the GLP1 jab Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 The Queensland native suffered a torrid time on the E4 show Credit: Channel 9

(Image: BBC/Studio Lambert ) WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Race Across the World. The Race Across the World final saw mother and son, Caroline and Thomas Bridge win. The pair won, after competing against five other pairs to race across a total distance of around 8,700 miles (14,000km) between the Great Wall of China, north of Bejing, and Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. Not only did they win the cash prize of £20,000 after a total of 51 days travelling, the pair also learnt a lot about themselves. During the series Caroline had opened up about how she felt she had lost her identity outside of being a mother and a wife. Thomas however, discussed his struggle with cerebral palsy. Thomas, 21, told the BBC : " 51 days racing through countries that I never thought I'd go to, and never thought we'd come this far, and never thought we'd achieve so much. And I've never been prouder of my mum." However, following the series finale fans of the show took to social media to share their disappointment over the winning pair.

Also, Caroline and Tom were shown much more than the others. We barely got to see any actual scenery." Defending the mother and son duo, one social media user said: "Caroline and Thomas were worthy winners and agree it seems race across the world set Caroline free and let her finally be herself . And what was lovely was Thomas saw that too. A great series to watch and all the couples learnt stuff along the way." Since filming the series the pair from Hargrave near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, Thomas and his 60-year-old mother Caroline have been spending more time together following their challenging stint on the show.
