I Wrote a Song
"I Wrote a Song" is a song by English singer Mae Muller, who wrote the track with Karen Poole and Lewis Thompson, the latter of whom produced it with Alfred Parx. It was released on 9 March 2023 as the third single from Muller's debut studio album Sorry I'm Late (2023), and was selected by TaP Music and the BBC to represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. In the Eurovision final, "I Wrote a Song" finished in 25th place with 24 points.
Prior to the Eurovision Song Contest, "I Wrote a Song" debuted at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart, and became the first UK Eurovision entry in over a decade to debut inside the chart's top 40. After the contest, it reached a new peak of number nine, becoming Muller's first UK top ten single. It also entered the top 30 in Iceland and Lithuania and reached the top 50 in Ireland.
On 9 March 2023, Muller was announced as the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, during The Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball and studio guest Rylan Clark. Muller is the first woman to represent the UK at the contest since SuRie, in 2018. Her contest entry "I Wrote a Song" was released on the same day, accompanied by a music video which premiered on the Eurovision Song Contest's official YouTube channel. It was released onto all streaming platforms on the same day.
Despite the title, Muller in fact co-wrote "I Wrote a Song" in January 2023 with songwriters Karen Poole and Lewis Thompson, who all co-produced the track, with production from Alfred Parx (L Devine) and Lewis Thompson. It lyrically addresses channeling your anger and taking revenge on a cheating ex. The song runs for a total of 2 minutes and 45 seconds and explores themes of self-worth, heartbreak, and empowerment.
Critics described "I Wrote a Song" as a balearic and Latin-pop track with elements of electropop. Comparisons were made to Dua Lipa to Robin S single "Show Me Love" and "Mr. Saxobeat" by Alexandra Stan. In an interview for NME, Muller said how her single is all about how to cope with "defeat following a breakup" and how to feel empowered afterwards.
"I Wrote a Song" was met with positive reviews from critics. Alexis Petridis from The Guardian gave it a three-star rating out of five, commenting that "it was better than most of our entries in previous years but failed to stand out compared to last year's entry 'Space Man'". He also drew comparisons to "Dua Lipa-esque electronic pop, underpinned by a rhythm track influenced by the sound of Robin S.’s 90s house hit 'Show Me Love', with its uptempo waltzing rhythm is also a Europop trope, reminiscent of Mediterranean holiday hits such as 'Mr. Saxobeat'."
Writing for the Daily Telegraph, James Hall described it as "a clever, sassy, precision-tooled banger" with a four-star rating out of five. He commented how "Muller sings the first verse over this before a bouncy bassline kicks in and we have a flamenco guitar-tinged middle eight that sounds like a chorus. The song is perfectly calibrated. It combines the lemon zing of revenge with a sprinkle of inner city smarts, a dollop of campness and some club ready beats." He gave praise to the organisers for picking a wise risk.
The Official Charts Company described it as "a pop stomper, all about Mae funneling her anger at the betrayal of an ex-partner." They added "how it's the freshest sounding UK Eurovision entry for countless years, sounding like something that actually belongs on radio rotation and your new music playlists."
