"I'm Not In Love" was released in May 1975 as the second single from the
band's third album, The Original Soundtrack (1975). The song is known
for its innovative and distinctive backing track, composed mostly of the
band's multitracked vocals. Eric Stewart came up with the idea for the
song after his wife, to whom he had been married for eight years at that
point, asked him why he did not say "I love you" more often to her.
Stewart said, "I chose to say 'I'm not in love with you', while subtly
giving all the reasons throughout the song why I could never let go of
this relationship." "I'm Not In Love" topped the charts in United
Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, and reached the Top 10 in the United States,
Germany, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway,
Switzerland, and New Zealand. Furthermore it landed at no.2 on the
Year-End Chart 1975. |
