United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Festival 16

United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Festival 16 with the song "I don't want you" written by Riton. The song was performed by RAYE and Riton. The British entry for the sixteenth contest in Odesa, Ukraine was selected through the national final ESF: You decide 16, organised by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). An initial 10 entries competed in the national final which consisted of two shows, the final and a super final. In the super final, "I don't want you" performed by RAYE and Riton was selected as the winner based on a public vote and a jury-vote. This meant that the original format did not return, as initially planned by the BBC. The broadcaster later confirmed that this was due to losing the rights to organise a national final with the original format of 50 participating songs.
