In the 1980s, Tyler transitioned into rock music, collaborating with the legendary songwriter and producer Jim Steinman.

Steinman also penned her other major hit from that era, 'Holding Out for a Hero'. During the 1990s, she found success in mainland Europe, particularly with the hit 'Bitterblue', written and produced by Dieter Bohlen.

In two thousand three, Tyler revisited her classic hit 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' in a bilingual duet with singer Kareen Antonn, titled 'Si demain... (Turn Around)', which topped the French charts. Her album Rocks and Honey, released in two thousand thirteen, included the single 'Believe in Me', which she performed while representing the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. Following a reunion with producer David Mackay, she released Between the Earth and the Stars in two thousand nineteen and The Best Is Yet to Come in two thousand twenty-one.

Throughout her illustrious career, Bonnie Tyler has received numerous accolades, including three Grammy Award nominations and three Brit Award nominations, with two for British Female Solo Artist.
