'Frei zu leben' was performed during the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest by Chris Kempers and Daniel Kovac. Like more songs during that year's edition, the obvious theme was war and freedom, triggered by the fall of the Berlin wall in the autumn of 1989. Originally performed in German, the B-side of this single also featured a French version, while it was also recorded in English and Croation (since Daniel Kovac was born in Croatia).The German entry was composed by Eurovision veteran Ralph Siegel with lyrics by Michael Kunze. It finished 9th in a field of 22 competitors.
