"Cry Baby", written and composed by Martin Isherwood, was the United Kingdom's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed by the duo Jemini. It was the first of two songs entered by the United Kingdom to earn no points (nul points) from any other countries.[1] It was also the first ever English-language song to receive no points.
The song is a simple pop ditty about a woman telling her lover that their relationship is over because he does not love her anymore. He sings back saying she is being unfair, prolonging the relationship while he has his own life to live.
Jemini were selected to take part in Eurovision by a public phone poll in the BBC's A Song for Europe competition. More than 100,000 votes cast in total for the duo.[2]
It was revealed in an interview with the band Steps on BBC Radio 2, Scott Mills breakfast show that Claire & H (from Steps, in their solo act) were supposed to be the act for that year, but pulled out last minute, and Jemini replaced them.[3]
