Love Is (Vikki Watson song)

"Love Is…", written and composed by James Kaleth and Vikki Watson, was the United Kingdom's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1985, performed by Watson, credited at Eurovision and on the single by just her given name.

The first female soloist to compete for UK at Eurovision since Olivia Newton-John with "Long Live Love" in 1974 and also the second female composer of a UK Eurovision entrant to sing her composition in the contest (after Lynsey de Paul),[1] Watson won the right to perform at Gothenburg by winning the UK national final, A Song for Europe, where she was the first singer to perform.

In Gothenburg, the song was performed fourteenth on the night, after Norway's Bobbysocks!

It was also the UK's strongest performance since winning the 1981 contest with "Making Your Mind Up".

In the chorus, Watson sings that "love is" the product of a number of impulsive decisions, such as "taking a chance on two hearts beating as one".
