"All We Need Is Love" is a song recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Ricki-Lee Coulter. It was released as a digital extended play on 2 May 2014, as the lead single from her fourth studio album Dance in the Rain. Coulter wrote the song with Ilan Kidron and Stuart Crichton, in hopes that it would encourage people to spread love and positivity. The lyrics are intended to make people smile and feel good about themselves.

Upon its release, "All We Need Is Love" debuted at number 39 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Melvin J. Montalban and features stories about three people. Coulter promoted "All We Need Is Love" with interviews and performances on television and radio programs. The song was also part of Coulter's set list for the Australian leg of Jason Derulo's Tattoos World Tour, where she was the supporting act.

"All We Need Is Love" was written by Ricki-Lee Coulter, Stuart Crichton and Ilan Kidron. Coulter stated that they were inspired to write the song after becoming fed up with all the drama in their personal lives and the bad things happening in today's society. She said, "We live in a world full of negativity, hate, criticism and judgment. We wanted to make a song about accepting and embracing each other, supporting, encouraging and complimenting each other and spreading love." Coulter also explained that the song's lyrics are intended to make people smile and feel good about themselves.

The line "Kicking down the doors / and coming alive" was inspired by a fan who sent Coulter a private message on Twitter, saying that her support of the gay community had inspired him to finally come out to his family. In an interview with News.com.au, Coulter said that she believes people have forgotten she can sing because the vocals on her comeback album, Fear & Freedom (2012), were not as "front and centre" like her earlier releases. She intended for "All We Need Is Love" to remind people that she can sing, saying, "I wanted to be able to strip it all back and take everyone back to the very beginning when they met me ten years ago on [Australian] Idol and the reason they embraced me was because of my voice."
