Love Will Set You Free was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku performed by Engelbert Humperdinck.
As a member of the Big Five, it was prequalified for the final. On the night, it was performed first preceding Hungary. At the close of voting, it finished in 25th place with 12 points, having been largely forgotten as there were many stronger, up-tempo songs yet to come.

So graceful and pure
A smile bathed in light
No matter the distance
A miracle of sight
Though I should have known
I could not turn away
When faced with your beauty
No reason can stay
As you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say
If you love someone, follow your heart
'Cause love comes once if you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free
Trust in your dreams
Run with no fear
And if you should stumble
Remember I'm near
As a ghost I will walk
I'll look deep in my soul
I might find another
You gave me that hope
So as you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say
If you love someone, follow your heart
Because love comes once, if you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever and the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free
And if you love someone, follow your heart
'Cause love comes once, if you're lucky enough
Though I'll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep
Love will set you free, yeah...
