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.'

Destination X reveals savage ‘sabotage' twist as player handed game-changing advantage ahead of brutal cliffhanger
DESTINATION X unveiled a brutal 'sabotage' twist - with one player receiving a huge advantage amid a savage cliffhanger. The BBC programme sees a group of strangers try to figure out where they are in Europe through a series of clues in a bid to win £100,000. 5 Viewers have been gripped by new competition series Destination X Credit: BBC 5 Host Rob Brydon revealed a game-changing twist to one player Credit: BBC 5 Josh received massive power within the competitive game Credit: BBC Contestants will try any tactic to win and the latest episode saw one given a massive advantage. The players balance champagne glasses on a tray - while answering tough questions about their opponents. Josh, a 26-year-old pilot, emerged as the victor and soon learned of a huge twist. Host Rob Brydon privately informed Josh that he would have the power to sabotage a rival. Elimination occurs when the line-up place their 'X' markers based on where they believe themselves to be. Josh received the ability to move someone's 'X' by 250km, which could effectively ensure their exit. Reacting to the game-changing news, he said: "I feel like I've got a lot of influence on the game, which I like having." Josh also didn't have to take part in the next challenge - but got to see a big clue alongside the winners. Elsewhere, he identified fellow players Nick, Judith and Claire as potential targets for sabotage. Although Josh seemingly planned to choose Nick, viewers will have to learn the outcome. Destination X viewers slam show for being 'too easy' after they guess location - as contestant makes huge clue blunder This episode ended on a tense cliffhanger - with Rob having dropped a huge bombshell. Namely, that the bottom two players' X markers were only 600 metres apart. One viewer wrote online: "The sabotage is not fair." Another remarked: "Sorry but why did Josh get to win a ridiculously overpowered advantage AND get the winning clue just from the standard side game??" Whether Nick - who was identified by the others as the biggest threat - has his exit sealed or survives to play on remains to be seen. Viewers will also have to wait to discover where exactly the latest Destination X is. Players and fans alike seem to agree it's Italy, but are divided on the precise spot. One person wrote on X: "They're defo on the south of Italy near Sicily." Another penned: "Changed me mind, Italy, Venice?" A third chimed in: "Donatella Versace. That drink looks like a Campari Spritz. Milan?" Destination X continues on BBC One and iPlayer. 5 Josh had a big decision to make Credit: BBC

BREAKING: Taylor Swift reveals huge star who will appear on new album The Life of a Showgirl
The much anticipated New Neights podcast episode featuring Taylor Swift has now been released and she drops some major news. Sabrina Carpenter will appear on her new album. It had been announced on Tuesday that Taylor, 35, would be a guest on the podcast, which is hosted by her partner Travis Kelce, 35, and his brother Jason Kelce, 37. A preview released on social media at the time had shown the singer-songwriter teasing her new album The Life of a Showgirl. The promotional clip showed Taylor telling Jason, who, like his brother, is known for playing in the NFL, whilst recording the podcast: "So I wanted to show you something." He responded by asking her: "Okay, what do we go?" Taylor held up a briefcase that had her initials on the front, before pulling out a vinyl sleeve that had been blurred. Confirming the name of her next album, she shared in the clip: "This is my brand new album, the Life of a Showgirl." She had announced the Life of a Showgirl, which is her twelfth original album, on August 12 and it's said that the podcast teaser was shared on Instagram at 12.12am. The album cover wasn't revealed though, with an orange padlock on a green backdrop used to temporarily conceal the artwork on her social media account and website following the news. It comes just months on from Taylor sharing with fans in May that she now owns "all of the music" that she's ever made. That announcement came following years of her releasing re-recorded versions of albums from earlier in her career following a dispute over her back catalogue. She said in a statement earlier this year: "The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Taylor also said at the time: "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it." Not including the four re-recorded albums she's released, the Life of a Showgirl will be Taylor's twelfth studio album to date. It follows the Tortured Poets Department, released by the Grammy Award winner in April last year. That album topped the charts upon its release and was said to have broken records. It included, according to the Official Charts Company, her becoming the first artist to have 12 number one albums in the UK the 21st century.
