When asked why he chose Bebe Rexha for the collaboration, Garrix said, "First of all, I love to hear her voice. I met her earlier this year in LA. She played me some of her demos and just straight away after the first song, I fell in love with her voice because it's so unique it's so different. The team and I were brainstorming and then Bebe ended up doing it, with a lot of sending back and forth, lots of shaping and polishing the song and then we finally came up with the version how the world knows it right now."{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2016/10/27/martin-garrix-is-finally-a-top-40-hitmaker-an-interview/|title=Martin Garrix Is Finally A Top 40 Hitmaker: An Interview|last=McIntyre|first=Hugh|newspaper=Forbes|access-date=1 November 2016}}
Critical reception
Kat Bein of Billboard wrote that the song shows Garrix's artistic growth: "[it's] a far cry from the hard-hitting, stomp-ready beat of his breakthrough", and called the song "a charming track, as delicate as it is clean. It's Garrix sharing his softer side." Idolator's Rachel Sonis felt the song sounded "like the summer anthem we’ve been waiting for all along".{{cite web|last1=Sonis|first1=Rachel|title=Bebe Rexha And Martin Garrix Team Up On 'In The Name of Love': Listen|url=http://www.idolator.com/7641514/bebe-rexha-martin-garrix-in-the-name-of-love|website=Idolator|access-date=11 August 2016|date=29 July 2016}}
