Overview

• BBC Radio 1 has broadcast the complete version of “Euro-Country,” including its 40-second Irish-language intro, three times since the single’s debut.
• The station maintains it never cut lyrics itself and relied solely on the radio edit provided by CMAT’s record label.
• CMAT has clarified on social media that she did not approve the omission and remains unaware who authorized the edit.
• The song’s Irish-language opening explores themes of loss and transformation, ending with the line, “will I be beautiful bald?”
• Euro-Country also features a verse widely interpreted as a critique of political corruption under former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and reflections on Ireland’s post-2008 economic crisis.
