The song features vocals from English singer Ellie Goulding and was released on 2 April 2013 as the album's seventh single.

The accompanying music video, directed by Emil Nava, depicts Harris and Goulding as a romantic couple on a trip to Miami.

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy rated the song four out of five stars, stating that "it's [Goulding's] distinctively soft-yet-throaty vocal that lifts it from the generic into something special.

"[7] Billboard commented that Goulding's "fragile voice carries so much warmth that no amount of synthetic clutter can dim a line like, 'Tell me, do you feel the same?/Hold me in your arms again'", but felt that "Harris' beat is a bit too strenuous here".

[12] On 21 April 2013, when "I Need Your Love" jumped from number eleven to number seven with sales of 33,052 copies, Harris made chart history by becoming the first artist to achieve eight UK top-10 singles from one studio album, breaking the previous record of seven set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album Bad and subsequently equalled by 1991's Dangerous.

The video shifts to amateur-like footage of Goulding and Harris acting in an affectionate manner toward each other in different locations such as a resort, in a car, at a beach, and in a tattoo parlour.

Subsequently, the camcorder is found floating in the water by a fifth individual who herself and another film each other on a boat cruise and later in a nightclub where Harris is performing as a DJ.

It centers mostly on Goulding as she wears an all-black outfit while singing alone in the middle of dim-lit place surrounded by fog.

"[27] Throughout the video, it depicts a fight between two men; a young boy climbing a twisted tree that catches fire; a young girl screaming atop a boulder; a woman being hung in mid-air as it rains; a male carrying an unconscious woman to a mountain of candles; and Harris is seen walking around in the fog as well.
