In 2014 , the BBC internally selected unknown singer Molly Smitten-Downes , through BBC Introducing , which supports new and unsigned acts . She represented the UK in Copenhagen under her artist name Molly . In the final , she performed the song " Children of the Universe " , which she co-wrote with Anders Hansson and finished in 17th place with 40 points , having been regarded as one of the favourites to win the contest . In October 2014 , Guy Freeman stated that the BBC are still engaging with record companies and the BBC Introducing platform in order to find an entry for the 2015 contest via the internal selection process , but announced that in addition , for the first time since 2008 , they are giving the general public the option to submit an entry for consideration . Ultimately , the entry for 2015 came through open submission , with the song " Still in Love with You " performed by the duo Electro Velvet . The song finished in 24th place , with only five points , the UK 's worst performance in terms of points tally since the infamous '' nul points '' of 2003 . The performance was widely deplored by viewers and openly mocked on social media , with the British media putting increasing pressure on the BBC to change its selection policy for future contests
