"Love Me like You Do" is a song recorded by English recording artist Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). The song was written by Tove Lo, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Ali Payami and Max Martin; the latter two are also the producers. It was released on 7 January 2015 by Republic Records as the second single from the soundtrack.
"Love Me like You Do" received acclaim from music critics, who applauded Goulding's vocals and its production. It has been a commercial success, spending four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, topping the charts in various countries around the world including Australia, Austria, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song held the record for the most-streamed track in a single week in the United Kingdom (streamed 2.58 million times) until Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" (streamed 3.68 million times), and worldwide (streamed 15.5 million times).[1]
Critical reception
"Love Me like You Do" received general acclaim from music critics. Samantha Grossman of Time called the song "sultry" and dubbed it a "solid addition to the Fifty Shades soundtrack."[2] Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone opined that "the results [of the song] are grandiose, considering the film's sensual subject matter."[3] Jim Farber of the NY Daily News wrote, "With her little-girl-lost voice, Goulding sounds sweet even when she's courting danger. The music, likewise, goes for a high gloss take on romance, recalling the heavily echoed beats and dense synthesizers of a Phil Collins ballad from the '80s."[4]
Robbie Daw of Idolator described "Love Me like You Do" as "a sweeping power ballad that finds Goulding delivering soft, understated vocals over producer Max Martin's swelling bed of synths."[5] Direct Lyrics stated, "Everything Ellie Goulding does and records is flawless and 'Love Me Like You Do' is no exception. A drum-heavy nostalgic production is the perfect ambiance for Ellie's ethereal vocals."[6] Lucas Villa of AXS commended Goulding for "masterfully tread[ing] between delicacy and power in her performance", calling the song "intimately magnificent".[7]
In a less favourable review, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard gave the song two and a half stars out of five, complimenting Goulding's voice as "one of pop's more distinct voices" and the tune's "colossal chorus", while panning its "cliched lyrics".[8]
Commercial performance
"Love Me like You Do" debuted atop the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of 172,368 copies, becoming Goulding's second UK number one following 2013's "Burn", as well as the fastest-selling single of 2015 so far.[9][10] The single remained at the top of the chart for a second week with chart sales of 118,225 copies and 2.25 million streams,[11][12] and then a third consecutive week selling another 118,000 copies. In its third week at number one, "Love Me like You Do" was streamed a record 2.58 million times over 7 days, claiming the title of the most-streamed track ever in a single week from Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk".[13] The record was later broken Wiz Khalifa 's "See You Again" streamed 3.68 million times in late April 2015.
Elsewhere in Europe, "Love Me Like You Do" topped the charts in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, while charting within the top five in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
In the United States, the song debuted at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated 24 January 2015, while entering Digital Songs with 79,000 copies sold.[21] The following week, the song jumped to number 36,[22] before climbing to number 20 in its third week.[23] On the issue dated 14 February 2015, it rose to number 14.[24] "Love Me Like You Do" reached number nine the following week, becoming Goulding's second top ten hit on the Hot 100.[25] In its seventh week, the song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.[26] It has sold over 1.4 million copies cumulatively in the United States.[27] "Love Me like You Do" debuted at number 38 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week ending 24 January 2015,[28] peaking at number three so far.[29][30] On Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, the song became Goulding's fourth number one, and she became the first artist to supplant herself with a new number-one when "Love Me like You Do" dethroned Calvin Harris' "Outside", on which she is a featured vocalist.[31]
The track entered at number eight on the Australian Singles Chart and at number three on the New Zealand Singles Chart. In its fourth week, "Love Me like You Do" reached number one on both charts, earning Goulding her first number-one single in both countries.[32][33]
