National Final
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) continued to use a national final to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. For the 1992 UK national final for Eurovision the multi-artist format utilized since 1976 was dropped in favor of having a single act perform all the nominated songs which had been the format for the UK national final for Eurovision 1964-1975. The BBC internally selected Michael Ball to eventually compete for the UK in Malmö, Sweden and perform all the songs in the British national final A Song For Europe held on 3 April at the BBC TV studios in London, with the winner of A Song For Europe decided through televoting.
The winning song was "One Step Out of Time", composed by Paul Davies, Tony Ryan and Victor Stratton.
