  • "Give a Little Love Back to the World", written and composed by Paul Curtis, was the United Kingdom's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1990, performed by Emma. At the age of 15, Emma was the youngest-ever entrant on behalf of the United Kingdom at Eurovision. Emma won the right to perform at Zagreb by winning the UK national final, A Song for Europe, where she was the fourth singer to perform. Like in 1988 and 1989, the winner was picked via a nationwide telephone vote, and Emma emerged victorious, receiving nearly three times as many votes as the second-place finisher (clocking in at just under 100,000 supporters). At Zagreb, the song was performed seventh on the night, after Luxembourg's Céline Carzo with "Quand je te rêve", and before Iceland's Stjórnin with "Eitt lag enn. " At the end of judging that evening, "Give a Little Love Back to the World" took the sixth-place slot with 87 points. Belgium awarded the UK its only 12 points for the evening. One large theme of Eurosong '90 in Zagreb was unity and peace, as the contest came mere months after the fall of communism in most of Eastern Europe. Emma's song strayed from this larger theme somewhat in that her song was a plea for environmentalism, asking people to "give love back to the world" by giving back to the Earth. Eurovision historian John Kennedy O'Connor commended Emma on choosing a themed song, but suggested it wasn't the most relevant theme considering the year. Emma, dressed in red, was flanked by five backup singers: three women (in blue dresses) and two men (in alternating white and blue pants, vests and shirts). After Eurovision, the song placed at #33 on the UK Singles Chart, in the best chart placing by a UK Eurovision act since 1984.
  • "Give a Little Love Back to the World" foi canção que representou o Reino Unido no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 1990, interpretada em inglês por Emma Booth. Com apenas 15 anos, foi a representante mais nova do Reino Unido no Festival Eurovisão da Canção. Foi a sétima canção a ser interpretada na noite do festival realizado em Zagreb, depois da canção luxemburguesa "Quand je te rêve" e antes da canção islandesa. No final, a canção recebeu 87 pontos, terminando a competição em sexto lugar. A Bélgica foi o único país a atribuir 12 pontos à canção.
