"Let There Be Love" is a song by English recording artist Melanie C. The song is the fourth and last single to be taken from Melanie C's fifth studio album The Sea. "Let There Be Love" is an English language cover of the German song "Liebe Ist Alles" by Rosenstolz. The song was released as a single, exclusively in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and it serves as an exclusive track on the version of The Sea released in those countries. Melanie C performed the song on The Sea – Live tour.

Background

"Let There Be Love" is one of many ballads Melanie C has released in the German-speaking countries. It is her least successful single to date, despite being well received by critics. Melanie hoped that the song would be a hit like "Liebe Ist Alles", but the single did poorly and did not help to increase sales of her album The Sea in the charts.

Music video

The music video, filmed in Brighton, features Melanie on a street along the beach (a homage to her album The Sea, and also where the album was recorded). The video features different couples kissing and cuddling with each other, at various different places near the beach and Brighton Pier. As Melanie sings, the names of couples appear to be written onto a wall she is singing in front of.
