"I Need to Be in Love" is a song written by Richard Carpenter, Albert Hammond and John Bettis. It was released as a single on May 21, 1976. It was featured on the A Kind of Hush album, which was released on June 11 of the same year. The single featured a version without the piano lead-in and starts immediately with a flute introduction by David Shostac.[1] Richard recalled that it was Karen's favorite Carpenters song.[2]

The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 on June 12 at number 55,[3] and peaked at number 25.[4] It peaked at number 36 on the UK charts.[5] In 1995, it was released as a CD single in Japan, after being chosen for the theme song of the drama Miseinen. It was taken from the best-selling compilation 22 Hits of the Carpenters (promoted as a double A-side with "Top of the World"). Richard Carpenter claims that "It became one of the biggest sellers of 1995, ultimately going quadruple platinum. In more ways than one, Karen would have loved that!"[2] "I Need to Be in Love" was also the Carpenters' fourteenth number one on the Easy Listening chart.[6]
