MM:“I'd worked with Lewis, but never in person and we’d never written together, and I'd never worked with Karen. I usually like to have a few days with people that I haven't worked with before just to get a feel, but we only had one day, so it was kind of incredible that we managed to get such a moment out of it. I came in with quite a bit of the song written and they helped me bring out what I wanted to bring out; there was no ego.

So, it's been really nice to be on the outside of it and now being amongst it, it's crazy. JC:“Well, this has only come together in the last couple of months. Initially, it was just about making sure we had done the best with the record and then it was straight into the video. We literally had a two-week turnaround and it was a minor miracle that we pulled it off. Now, the real work starts. There are lots of Eurovision commitments in terms of launch parties in various territories and we're getting into the nitty gritty. It was all about getting the basics right to make sure we were ready to make a big noise and we've definitely done that, because the single is charting. Sam Ryder did a brilliant job, but he didn't actually chart [with Space Man] until the week or so before the Eurovision, so hopefully we're already ahead.”Even though there was a little bit of fear because it's such a big deal, I thought: "You know what? You can't allow fear to get in the way of this, it's such an amazing thing, one in a million experience." And so I said yes. I'll deal with the nerves later, she jokes.

Retrieved 24 May 2023.JC:“Artists have got to have great songs. They've got to be talented. They've got to work hard, but they've also got to be likeable and Mae is really, really likeable. There's a big bit of Mae that's quite ‘girl next door’, and I think that's important. I remember [Modest! director] Richard Griffiths saying, ‘We just have to get Mae in front of people because they will love her.’ And now we've got the biggest platform we could have asked for.” Representing the host country and being the representative of such a large event is a great responsibility.
