What has Look Mum No Computer said about competing in Eurovision?
When he was announced as the UK entry, Look Mum No Computer shared: “I find it completely bonkers to be jumping on this wonderful and wild journey.
“I have always been a massive Eurovision fan, and I love the magical joy it brings to millions of people every year, so getting to join that legacy and fly the flag for the UK is an absolute honour that I am taking very seriously,” he said.
Ahead of the final, the artist also told the BBC that he underwent “a stress test [to see] whether I could deal under pressure.”

What is Look Mum No Computer’s Eurovision song and what does it mean?
The UK is pinning their hopes on Look Mum No Computer’s Eurovision track “Eins, Zwei, Drei”.
The track, which translates to ‘one, two, three’ in German, will be the first song in UK Eurovision history to not be sung entirely in English.
The Eurovision 2026 final is taking place on Saturday (16 May). However, the contest’s 70th anniversary has been overshadowed by the European Broadcasting Union’s decision to allow Israel to continue participating.
In response, five countries have pulled out of the contest – the largest boycott in the competition’s history since 1970.
Furthermore, Spain confirmed it will not broadcast this year’s contest and Slovenia will air Palestine docs instead of Eurovision to protest Israel’s inclusion.
