Music video description
"I'd Do Anything For Love" is a song from the repertoire of the band Meat Loaf, which was written by Jim Steinman. The song was released in August 1993 as the first single from the studio album "Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell." In the last six stanzas of the hit song "I'd Do Anything For Love," which was included on the album, the singer, who was signed only as Mrs. Loud and later identified as Lorraine Crosby, can be heard. However, the woman does not appear in either the music video or the radio version that promoted the album.
The song "I'd Do Anything For Love" is a ballad that achieved considerable commercial success, reaching number one on the charts in 28 countries. The single gained platinum status in the United States and became the only song by Meat Loaf to enter the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart. The song was also the UK's best-selling at the same time, and the band itself also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance Solo.
The lyrics of this hit song "I'd Do Anything For Love" are constructed in such a way that each verse mentions two things that can be done for love. Then, in contrast, it is followed by what can never be done out of love. The song in its original version is as long as 12 minutes. As a point of interest, it is worth mentioning that in 2012 the song was featured in a commercial for M&M's, which aired during Super Bowl XLVII.
