Muller talked about her music style and how it often empowers people to know their worth. She also discussed her journey in the music industry, from working at a pub during the day to writing and performing music in the evening.
Muller gained recognition for her music by uploading demos on Soundcloud, which eventually led to her touring with Little Mix in 2019 as one of their opening acts.

She shared her experience of trying to win over large crowds who were waiting for Little Mix to perform.
Muller’s Eurovision entry was released earlier in the day and its official music video was premiered during the interview.
She went on to explain that the song was inspired by a breakup and how she wanted to turn a negative feeling into a positive one.
Muller was unveiled as the UK’s representative for the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
She gushed: “Oh my God, I have been waiting to say that for months. I am shaking. That has been on my lips and in the brain and in the soul and on the nails.”
