"Love Is in the Air" is a 1977 disco song by Australian singer John Paul Young.

[3] In 1992, a remix of the song was released and featured on the soundtrack to the Golden Globe-nominated film Strictly Ballroom.

[4] John Paul Young said of the recording, "We actually did 'Love Is in the Air' because we needed something for the German market.

"[5] Young performed "Love is in the Air" live on episode 148 of Countdown on 30 April 1978 and on Top of the Pops on 4 May 1978.

"Love Is in the Air" was the theme song to Baz Luhrmann's 1992 debut feature film Strictly Ballroom.

The song was played at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy during the opening ceremony's parade of athletes.

In Canada, Young's recording of "Love Is in the Air" performed significantly more poorly on the charts than in most other countries, due to the existence of a contemporaneous version of the song by Canadian singer Martin Stevens.

Larry Flick from Billboard stated that Young "updates his '70s classic for the soundtrack to "Strictly Ballroom" with a festive '90s-minded dance beat.
