"Back to Life" is a song by English girl group Stand Uniqu3. It was selected by the BBC to represent the United Kingdom in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and later by CONMEBOL as the official song of the 2024 Copa América football tournament.[1] In the Eurovision final, "Back to Life" finished in 4th place with 160 points.
Background and release
editOn 19 October 2023, it was revealed that the United Kingdom would be represented by Stand Uniqu3, the first non-solo act selected to represent the UK at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023. The group consisted of members Maisie, Yazmin and Hayla, and formed especially for Junior Eurovision. All three members of the group had previously appeared on the seventh series of The Voice Kids.[2][3] The selected song, "Back to Life", was released on the same day, coinciding with the BBC's artist announcement. The song was written by Sky Adams, Jakke Erixson and Jack Hawitt, the latter of whom was also a songwriter for "Lose My Head", the British entry in 2022.[4]
Promotion
editFollowing the reveal of the UK entry, Stand Uniqu3 embarked on several promotional activities, appearing on BBC Breakfast and The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 on 19 October.[5] They also appeared on CBBC’s Newsround.[6] On 4 November, they gave their first lip sync performance of "Back to Life" on the CBBC children's television programme Blue Peter.[7] On 11 November, the trio performed on CBBC's Saturday Mash-Up! and four days later on BBC Two's Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two.[8][9] On 17 November, Stand Uniqu3 gave a live TV performance of their entry on the BBC's annual charity appeal show Children in Need.[10]
On 24 November 2023, CBBC broadcast a 30-minute documentary: Stand Uniqu3's Road To Eurovision, which followed the group's journey to the contest.[11]
On 19 May 2024, CONMEBOL announced that the song was selected as the official English-language song of the 2024 Copa América football tournament, alongside Shakira's "Puntería", which will also be used for the tournament.[12] This marks the first Copa América official song to be performed by an act under the age of 18.
Music videos
editThe video for the song, as well as a lyric video consisting of the group recording the song, was released on 13 October 2023.
A second lyric video, featuring an animated version of the group and clips from past Copa América tournaments, is expected to be released on 11 June 2024, nine days before the opening match of the 2024 tournament.
