Next Episode of Your Song is
Season 1 / Episode 5 and airs on 10 May 2026 20:00
Your Song is about everyday people, who, driven by their love and connection to a particular song, will step up to the stage and share their story with the world. Whether their track helped them through heartbreak, became their anthem of triumph, or reminds them who they are, Your Song is exactly that…. Your's.
Alison Hammond presents the show giving people the chance to perform the one song that tells their story - often in front of a crowd for the very first time. Mentors Paloma Faith and Sam Ryder watch and listen to the performances. In the first episode, Alison heads to Liverpool, where a teenager sings Bocelli for the foster mum he can't find words to thank, and a kidney transplant recipient brings Sam and Paloma sprinting out into the downpour. With only one place available at the grand final at London's Hackney Empire, Sam and Paloma face an impossible choice.
Alison Hammond takes the pop-up stage to Edinburgh. A woman sings an Etta James number for the bus driver who left her a handwritten note and drove away, a 22-year-old performs his mum's favourite song, a former soldier sings the Zach Bryan track that helped him through PTSD, and a hospital volunteer sings A Fond Kiss by Robert Burns for a D-Day veteran on his 100th birthday.
In London, a 90-year-old sings the Frank Sinatra classic that gave him back his voice after he had a stroke. A 15-year-old performs an original tune about growing up Black in Britain. An 83-year-old from Derry sings a song that she gave up 30 years ago because it made her daughter cry, and a father and son perform the lullaby that's always been their song.
In Birmingham, a former Birmingham City footballer sings for her grandad, while a Royal Navy officer performs Nessun Dorma, bringing the Bull Ring to a standstill. A primary school teacher unleashes her inner rock star, a pregnant woman sings the song that saved her, and an Iranian refugee for whom singing was once an act of rebellion takes to the stage
Sam Ryder and Paloma Faith take the chosen singers into the studio to rehearse for the final concert. But first, they decide to include a fifth singer. Who should they bring back? As the practice sessions begin, Milo must learn to be bigger on stage, Chantel battles with self-doubt, Findlay rehearses his mum's funeral song a year after her death and Mina starts losing her voice the day before the concert. Alison Hammond follows their progress.
Alison Hammond hosts the final performance at London's Hackney Empire. Sam Ryder and Paloma Faith must choose one of the five acts as the performance of the night. Chantel's a kidney transplant survivor, Findlay sings his mother's favourite song, teenager Milo stopped singing for two years after being teased, and for Iranian refugee Mina, singing was once an act of rebellion. Finally there's Elliot: a wildcard entry with the best smile in Britain.
