"Frei Zu Leben" (English translation: "To Live Free") was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990, performed in German by Chris Kempers & Daniel Kovac.
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Switzerland's Egon Egemann with Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus and preceding France's Joëlle Ursull with White and Black Blues). At the close of voting, it had received 60 points, placing 9th in a field of 22.

The song is a love duet, with the singers telling each other that when they are together they are free to be themselves and connect with the rest of the world around them. A Croatian version was also recorded as "Sretni Dani", Daniel Kovac being from Croatia.

It was succeeded as German representative at the 1991 Contest by Atlantis 2000 with Dieser Traum Darf Niemals Sterben.
