The United Kingdom competed at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004, where they were represented by Cory Spedding with the song "The Best Is Yet To Come".

A national final was held by Independent Television (ITV) to select the UK entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004. The selection show, broadcast on digital channel ITV2, was held on 4 September 2004 and was presented by Holly Willoughby, Stephen Mulhern and Michael Underwood. Televoting was held to select the winner from the 9 competing acts.

The 2004 Eurovision Song Contest was initially to be held in Manchester. However ITV abandoned the project due to finance and scheduling problems. It was therefore moved to Lillehammer in Norway.

On the night of the contest, Cory Spedding performed 13th in the running order of the contest, following Latvia and preceding Denmark. At the close of the voting Cory has received 140 points, placing 2nd of the 18 competing entries, beaten by María Isabel of Spain.
