[6] At a Junior Eurovision press event in May 2021, the EBU stated that they were working to bring the UK back to the contest, possibly for the 2021 edition.

[9][10] Upon the broadcaster's announcement that they would participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022, Patricia Hidalgo Reina, director of BBC Children's and Education, stated: "We are beyond excited to bring the Junior Eurovision Song Contest to the BBC for the first time, and to showcase the diverse young musical talent from across Europe for children and their families to discover and enjoy together.

This junior version of Eurovision will undoubtedly encapsulate the same spirit of unity that the adult contest brings, reflecting the heart of what CBBC is all about, an inclusive channel that celebrates the diversity and creativity in all children.

A jury panel consisting of music professionals determined the winner of the auditions and, hence who would represent the United Kingdom at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

[14] On 3 November 2022, it was officially revealed to the public that Freya Skye would represent the country with the song "Lose My Head", written by Deepend, Jack Hawitt and Amber van Day.

[16] Dan Shipton, who had designed several previous Eurovision stagings, including for Sam Ryder, the British runner-up for the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, was again the creative director, while Jay Revell was the lead choreographer and Jorge Antonio was the assistant choreographer and costume designer for the performance.

[17] On 18 November, Freya Skye gave her first live TV performance of "Lose My Head" on the BBC's annual charity appeal show Children in Need.

[21] The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 took place at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan, Armenia on 11 December 2022, at 15:00 GMT.

[9] On 21 November, it was announced that children's TV presenter Lauren Layfield and singer Hrvy would commentate the BBC's coverage of the contest from MediaCity in Salford.

Freya Skye and the UK delegation also participated in the Opening Ceremony for the contest, which was held in Republic Square in Yerevan on 5 December, during which the running order was also determined.

[26] Due to Freya falling ill during the week, she was unable to sing live during her second rehearsal, using playback instead, and pulled out of the jury show on 10 December, as doctors had advised her to rest her voice.

[27][28] The live performance for the UK entry in Yerevan featured similarities to the music video for the song, with Freya joined by four backing dancers, all of whom wore red dresses.

[29] Dan Shipton, who had designed several previous Eurovision stagings, including for Sam Ryder, the British runner-up for the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, was again the creative director, while Jay Revell was the lead choreographer and Jorge Antonio was the assistant choreographer and costume designer for the performance.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
