Wikipedia article
"'We All Need Love'" is a single released by the Italian Eurodance group Double You in 1992.
History
The song was originally written and recorded by Canadian rock musician Domenic Troiano in 1979. It had also been covered by the australian band Ebony in 1983, and by Karen J. Ann in 1988. The Double You version was recorded in 1992.
It was the band's second single from its debut album, 'We All Need Love', released the same year, and confirmed the worldwide success of Double You. It peaked at number-one in Belgium and became a Top 10 hit in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. There were various formats, including many remixes.
The music video of "We All Need Love" was directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone. De Simone has directed music videos for many other Eurodance acts, like Corona, Ice MC and Whigfield.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' commented, "After a mediocre showing in the "Please Don't Go" battle against KWS, Italo-pop/house act lunges for crossover radio approval with a cute, retro-minded disco twirler. An anthemic chorus and old-fashioned string and piano fills give the song charm." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' said the song is "great", adding that "it has a very similar organ-driven poppy disco sound and should give them the success they deserve."
