"I Want Your Love" is a song by American band Chic from their second album C'est Chic (1978). Featuring a solo lead vocal by Alfa Anderson, the song went on to become a very successful follow-up to their iconic "Le Freak".

"[The song] swirls around a tricky horn-and-strings riff that builds and builds until the track practically levitates," Rolling Stone stated.AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier called the song a "timeless floor-filler" and a "dancefloor anthem." Amy Hanson from AllMusic:

Chic's smooth, up-tempo follow-up to their searing disco epic "Le Freak," "I Want Your Love" was a chart-topper in its own right in early 1979. And while it may not have been as commercially heart-stopping as the former, it was a stunning, and often better, example of just how easily Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers could magic a song together.

Simple, yet extraordinarily textured, this is Rodgers' autobiographical and bittersweet lament of an unrequited love. Dominant here is the song's four-note riff, which plays out across the intro on bells before being swept up in the lilting strings which ultimately drive the melody. Echoed by both horns and vocals, the slightly melancholy refrain "I want your love, I need your love" was the passionate repetition that made the song so endearing an unending circle -- a sonic masterpiece.

In the United States, "I Want Your Love" peaked at #7 (#5 soul) on the Billboard pop chart in May 1979. The song remained on the charts for 19 weeks. In United Kingdom the song reached #4 (the highest position of any Chic singles) and spent 11 weeks on the charts.
