"I Want Your Love" is an R&B/disco song composed by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers of Chic fame. The track was contained on their 1978 album, C'est Chic. Originally intended for then-protégés, Sister Sledge, "I Want Your Love" went on to become a slightly-less successful follow-up^[1] to their classic smash, "Le Freak" (also from C'est Chic).
