"Doomsday Blue" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Bambie Ray Robinson, known by their[a] stage name, Bambie Thug. Self-described as "an electro-metal breakdown", it was written by Robinson, Olivia Cassy Brooking, Sam Matlock, and Tylr Rydr. The song was self-released on 13 October 2023, as part of their first extended play, Cathexis. The song represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it finished in sixth place at the final with 278 points. It marked the first time since 2018 that Ireland had qualified for the final.
The song was met with a heavily divided reaction amongst Irish society, becoming a highly polarising song between various political and social groups in Ireland. It was met with praise from numerous past Irish contestants and media personalities, who remarked that the song was more unique than past Irish Eurovision entries. However, it has been derided by numerous Irish conservative personalities, claiming it was pushing LGBTQ+ ideologies amongst Irish society, along with viewing the song as a detriment to Ireland's national culture, particularly its Christian heritage. "Doomsday Blue" drew commercial success, becoming Robinson's first charting song in their home country.
