"Love Unlimited" is a song by Bulgarian singer Sofi Marinova, which was chosen to represent Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012. The song contains the phrase "I love you" in ten languages.
The music is by Yasen Kozev and Krum Georgiev, who previously wrote the song "Eagle", performed by Miroslav Kostadinov - Miro at the 2010 Bulgarian national Eurovision song selection, but they did not write this song specifically for Eurovision. Sofi Marinova had a version of the song in her cell phone for 6–7 months before she came up with the idea to participate with it in Eurovision.
The lyrics of the song are by Doni Vasileva, who came up with the idea of using the words "I love you" in multiple languages. The message of the song is that song, pain, and love "[have] no boundaries, language, and colour" and are the same for everyone. The verses are entirely in Bulgarian language, but the choruses and the ending contain versions of the phrase "I love you" in a total of ten languages:
Other non-Bulgarian phrases in the chorus are يا حَبيبي /ya habibi/ and mon chéri, respectively "my beloved" in Arabic and "my dear" in French.
The song features words in three Romance languages (Spanish, Italian, French), two Slavic languages (Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian) and two Turkic languages (Turkish, Azerbaijani), but only one Germanic language (English) is used. The Romani language is Sofi Marinova's mother tongue. Turkish, Greek and Serbian are the languages of three of Bulgaria's neighbouring countries - Turkey, Greece and Serbia. Greek and Turkish are official languages in Cyprus as well, while the languages of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro are all variants of Serbo-Croatian. Azerbaijani is the language of Eurovision 2012's host country, Azerbaijan.
