The advertising campaign for Forever Red is elaborate enough for BBW to include a TV commercial. We read in it the return of Pretty Woman and of power red from the 80s. Instead of a power suit, you get frilly crimson and langorous Latino rhythms in a song interpreted by Caro Emerald, "A Night Like This", a tune originally composed for a Martini commercial by Emerald's songwriters David Schreurs and Vince Degiorgio.
