On 3 March 2014, the BBC announced that Molly would be representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with the song “Children of the Universe”.

Prior to the contest, Molly signed a record deal with Warner Music UK on 1 April 2014. On 4 April, Molly announced that she would release her song “Children of the Universe” on 28 April 2014. It was made available for digital download on iTunes from 15 April. The song was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden with a 28-piece orchestra and produced by Anders Hansson. The official video for the entry was released on YouTube on 23 April 2014. The following day, Molly appeared on BBC Radio 1’s Innuendo Bingo. However at the Eurovision final on 10 May 2014, she was regarded as a front-runner and one of the favourites to win the show.

In 2015 she teamed up with German DJ and producer Zwette to make “Rush” which was released by Spinnin’ Records and remixed by Sam Feldt.

After initially saying ‘I’m so flattered, but it’s not for me’ on the grounds that it was not ‘suitable’ to her creatively, eventually Smitten-Downes was convinced by the prospect of being able to perform a self-penned work on a global stage.
