MAE MULLER TURNS PAIN INTO POWER ON EXHILERATING NEW SINGLE
“I WROTE A SONG” LISTEN/WATCH HERE
MAE MULLER TO REPRESENT UNITED KINGDOM AT EUROVISION 2023
Mae Muller returns with fierce new single “I Wrote A Song” – listen HERE/watch HERE. The euphoric track marks the beginning of a dynamic new era for the rising pop superstar and is her first new music of 2023. As announced earlier today by the BBC, Mae Muller will be representing the United Kingdom at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest, set to be held in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine, in May 2023 with ‘I Wrote A Song’.
On “I Wrote A Song,” Muller brings her mesmerising vocals to a dance-pop anthem that speaks to the pure magic of turning pain into power. Co-written with Karen Poole (Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, Galantis) and Lewis Thompson (Anne-Marie, Little Mix, Steve Aoki), the track opens on a gut-punch of a lyric that perfectly showcases the strength and full-force personality of Muller’s songwriting (“When you said you were leaving/To work on your mental health/You didn’t mention the cheating/Youkept that one to yourself”). With its dizzying cascade of bubbly beats, pulse-pounding grooves, and lush guitar flourishes, “I Wrote A Song” ultimately builds to a sublime intensity as Muller celebrates the thrill of fully owning her story and finding catharsis through creation.
Mae says, “I Wrote A Song is a track I wrote after the fallout from a relationship. I was hurt and also a little angry, so I thought, where can I put this negative energy and make something positive out of it? The song is less about revenge and more about empowering yourself. While I was recording the song, I envisioned me and my girls dancing to it on a Saturday night, and that’s exactly what I want people to do! To dance, sing, let go, and feel empowered after listening.”
The video for the track heightens the song’s carefree energy with a bright and vibrant ’90s aesthetic. Directed by AB/CD/CD (a duo known for their work with artists like Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, and Kasabian), the visual follows Muller as she bounces back from a breakup by literally stomping all over any lingering memories of her ex via some ingenious use of fantastically detailed miniatures sets. Intercut with tongue-in-cheek choreography, the video fuses magical realism and true-to-life emotion to wild and glorious effect.
“I Wrote A Song” follows late 2022 single “I Just Came To Dance” — a gorgeous piece of pop escapism that premiered alongside its eye-popping video and the platinum-certified smash hit “Better Days” (a US chart-topping collaboration with NEIKED and Polo G).
A bold voice of a frustrated generation, Mae Muller makes pop music that packs a real punch. With a deft ability to celebrate the female experience and capture a generational mood, she has amassed a huge following, garnering millions of listeners. While a fierce feminism often informs her writing, her new music exposes a more vulnerable side as Mae explores love and loss, dating and relationships with fearless honesty, confronting her own experiences whilst also capturing the broader frustrations of young women today, “I feel like I’m slowly learning to be vulnerable. I can be strong, sassy, confident, and I can be sad and have my low moments: I’m still me.. It’s just as empowering to show both sides.”
