  • "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), 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! with "La det swinge", and before Switzerland's Mariella Farré and with "Piano, piano". At the end of judging that evening, "Love Is…" took the fourth-place slot with 100 points. At the time, it was one of the few entries that managed to receive 100 points without receiving any 12 point allotments from any jury. It was also the UK's strongest performance since winning the 1981 contest with "Making Your Mind Up". The song was a contemporary ballad about a man and a woman who are both too afraid to plunge head-first with their emotions into a love affair: while both of them want to be loved by the other, both of them are letting their heads rule their hearts. 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". Watson nominally used a single chair as a prop, first sitting in it while singing the song, then circling it and abandoning it entirely by the second half of the song. Despite the high result in Gothenburg, the song only managed to place at No. 49 on the UK Singles Chart. The b-side of the single was "Lead Me Through the Darkness" (en)
  • "Love Is …" (tradução portuguesa: "O amor é …") foi a canção que representou o Reino Unido no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 1985, interpretada em inglês por Vikki Watson. A canção tinha letra e música de James Kaleth e Vikki Watson. Vikki ganhou o direito de representar o Reino Unido em Gotemburgo por ter vencido na final no Reino Unido, no programa , onde ela foi a primeira a interpretar a canção naquele programa. Em Gotemburgo, canção britânica foi a 14.ª a ser interpretada, depois da canção "La det swinge", interpretada pela banda Bobbysockse antes da canção suíça "Piano, piano", interpretada por Mariella Farré e Pino Gasparini. A canção britânica terminou em quarto lugar, recebendo 100 pontos. A canção é uma balada contemporânea sobre um homem e uma mulher em que ambos têm medo que seja a cabeça a dominar num assunto deamor; enquanto ambos querem ser amados um pelo outro, ambos estão deixando a cabeça a regular os corações. No coro, Vikki canta que o amor é um produto de desisões impulsivas tal como "ter sorte em dois corações baterem como um". Em termos de vendas, não passou do 49.º lugar do top de vendas britânico.
