"Love Me Like You Do" is a song recorded by English singer Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Tove Lo, Max Martin and Ali Payami; the latter two also produced it. Goulding was selected to provide vocals to the track. It was released on 7 January 2015 as the second single from the soundtrack. The song was also included on Goulding's third studio album, Delirium (2015).
"Love Me like You Do" is a mid-tempo electropop power ballad, with instrumentation consisting of massive synths and crushing drums. Lyrically, similar to the film's theme, the song talks about the uncontrollable feeling of falling in love and being seduced by someone whose touch leaves her begging for more, even when it hurts. It received acclaim from music critics, who praised Goulding's soft vocals and the song for being sultry and grandiose. The song earned Goulding her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance, while the songwriters were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song.
"Love Me like You Do" topped the UK Singles Chart, a position it maintained for four weeks and held the record for the most-streamed track in a single week in the United Kingdom at the time. Outside the United Kingdom, "Love Me like You Do" became Goulding's most successful single as well as becoming her first chart-topper in various countries, going number one in over 30 official charts worldwide, including Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland and peaking within the top ten of the charts in various countries, including Belgium, Colombia and the United States. Its accompanying music video, which features scenes of the film and Goulding dancing with her partner in a ballroom, received a nomination at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video, and in 2016 became the 21st video to receive one billion views on YouTube.
Background
While seeking material for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, Republic Records contacted various artists, managers and music publishers to create a compilation that would appropriately represent the film's tone. "Love Me like You Do" was the result of Republic executive Tom Mackay contacting Max Martin's manager about writing a song for the film.{{Cite web |last=Ugwu |first=Reggie |date=26 February 2015 |title=Why The "Fifty Shades Of Grey" Soundtrack Is Better Than It Has Any Right To Be |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/reggieugwu/how-the-fifty-shades-of-grey-soundtrack-got-so-good |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924052402/http://www.buzzfeed.com/reggieugwu/how-the-fifty-shades-of-grey-soundtrack-got-so-good |archive-date=24 September 2015 |access-date=2 July 2015 |website=BuzzFeed}} Ilya started writing the chorus, while Ali Payami and Martin came next, with Martin "tweaking" the song and Savan Kotecha and Tove Lo also contributing with lyrics. According to Kotecha, "Love Me like You Do" was already being developed by both him and Martin prior to Fifty Shades of Grey, and he had considered giving the song to American singer Demi Lovato. However, after being shown a scene from the film during a meeting for the film's soundtrack, Martin thought "Love Me like You Do" could work, and began reworking the song for inclusion.{{Cite web |last=Cragg |first=Michael |date=5 October 2015 |title=Savan Kotecha interview: "The people with the longest careers are the people who learn how to do it on purpose" |url=https://www.popjustice.com/articles/savan-kotecha-interview-the-people-with-the-longest-careers-are-the-people-who-learn-how-to-do-it-on-purpose/138226/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151209073849/http://www.popjustice.com/articles/savan-kotecha-interview-the-people-with-the-longest-careers-are-the-people-who-learn-how-to-do-it-on-purpose/138226/ |archive-date=9 December 2015 |access-date=11 December 2015 |website=Popjustice}} After that, the film director Sam Taylor-Johnson asked Ellie Goulding to sing the song. Goulding, who previously contributed songs to the soundtracks to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Divergent, initially thought about declining the invitation to record another song for a soundtrack to focus on her then-upcoming third studio album. However, after meeting the film crew and hearing the ballad she accepted. She commented:
"I wasn't going to get involved in that soundtrack because I've done a lot of soundtracks and we kind of thought we've done a bit too much film stuff. So we should probably just chill and write that third album, which is what I should be focusing on. And then I met the director [Sam Taylor-Johnson] and everyone involved and I was like, 'This is a pretty cool thing to be involved in.' Then I heard the song and I was like, 'Woah, this is a pretty awesome song.' I didn't know that it was going to be this big, genuinely. I thought [maybe] it would do well."{{Cite news |last=Inocencio |first=Marc |date=29 April 2015 |title=Ellie Goulding Talks No. 1 Hit 'Love Me Like You Do', Teases Third Studio Album |url=http://www.at40.com/news-article/ellie-goulding-talks-no-1-hit-love-me-like-you-do-teases-third-studio-album/36199 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409184612/http://www.at40.com/news-article/ellie-goulding-talks-no-1-hit-love-me-like-you-do-teases-third-studio-album/36199 |archive-date=9 April 2016 |access-date=22 March 2016 |work=American Top 40}}

Its instrumentation consists of massive synthesisers and crushing drums, while Goulding delivers a "soft, understated vocals".

Holz, "mirrors the story arc of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey" in both the book and the film.
