Margaret Island, a Hungarian indie pop band named after Margaret Island in Budapest, was formed in 2014. Their music blended pop with acoustic and folk elements, influenced by artists like Mumford & Sons and Passenger. The band's debut album, Egyszer volt, released on September 1, 2015, featured the song "Nem voltál jó", a Hungarian translation of their original English track "Soaked in Life" by János Bródy. Margaret Island gained further traction with the hit "Bolyongó", which topped Petőfi Rádió for several weeks in 2015. In 2016, they won the Fonogram Award for Discovery of the Year with Egyszer volt. The band also performed as the interval act for A Dal 2017 and A Dal 2018, Hungary's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their subsequent albums include Bakancslista (2016), III (2018), and Hol Marad Az Én Történetem (2021).
