“I Need Love” is a1992 single produced by Giorgio Moroder and recorded by English-born Australian singer, songwriter and actress Olivia Newton-John. The track was one of four new songs recorded for Olivia’s third Greatest Hits compilation Back To Basics: The Essential Collection 1971-1992.
A safe-sex anthem about wanting love before sex “I Need Love” was meant to be a comeback for Newton-John however just as the song entered the Billboard charts Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time. A worldwide concert tour that had been scheduled was cancelled and Olivia was unable to promote the single. At the same time, Olivia’s father also died from liver cancer.
On July 11, 1992 “I Need Love” peaked at #96 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #44 on the US Dance chart. In the UK “I Need Love” peaked at #75.
