Englebert Humperdinck’s Eurovision entry has been unveiled. As previously reported, the singer was chosen to represent the UK partly due to his continued popularity in some key Eastern European countries which can swing the vote. Entitled ‘Love Will Set You Free’, the song has been written and produced by Martin Terefe and Sacha Skarbek, who between then have worked with the likes of Mary J Blige, Adele, Lana Del Rey and James Blunt.

Humperdinck will perform the song live at the Eurovision Song Contest on 26 May. When he was announced as the UK entrant earlier this month, he said: “It’s an absolute honour to be representing my country for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. When the BBC approached me, it just felt right for me to be a part of an institution like Eurovision. I’m excited and raring to go and want the nation to get behind me!”
