Despite the song’s immense popularity, Tyler said she earned very little money from streaming. According to her, the copyright belonged to composer Jim Steinman, meaning that most of the revenue went to the copyright holders rather than to her.
During her career, Bonnie Tyler won a Grammy Award, several Brit Awards and released dozens of albums. Her distinctive husky voice became one of the most recognizable in pop music.
