Children of the Universe was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by Molly Smitten-Downes. She was chosen through BBC Introducing, which allows undiscovered British talent to shine. The song itself, which Molly co-wrote, was inspired by an old poem called Desiderata. After the reveal of the entry in March 2014, many fans believed it could be the one that could reverse the trend of the country's bad luck in recent years, and it went on to finish in the top 5 of the 2014 OGAE fan poll.
