"I promise to give this everything that I've got for the  UK!"

Bonnie Tyler films the video for 'Believe In  Me'

'Believe In Me' was written by Desmond Child, Lauren  Christy and Christopher Braide, and is produced by David Huff. A unnamed  Eurovision expert told The Mirror: "She should be one of our  strongest contestants in many years - her live vocal ability is tried and  tested. "Bonnie could easily finish in the top 10 with this power ballad.  She has decades of experience so should be able to pull this off with  aplomb." The 58th annual Eurovision Song Contest will take place in MalmÖ  between May 14 and 18. Tyler will release Rocks and Honey on May 6.
