The band originally released the song in June 1993 as a track on their extended play (EP) of the same name, which reached number 72 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song was covered by British singer Karen Ramirez and released as her second single from her album Distant Dreams in 1998, with the shorter title of "Looking for Love".
[4] Richard Wallace from Daily Mirror stated that "the hypnotic cover" of Everything But The Girl's "I Didn't Know I Was Looking for Love" "was a beguiling introduction to the talents of Ms Ramirez".
"[6] Smash Hits said that this remix could do for Karen Ramirez what Fatboy Slim's mix of "Brimful Of Asha" did for Cornershop.
They added, "These housey beats increase the funk factor ten-fold without losing the delicious vocals or hummable tune.
