The song was going to be a sermon, telling people that love was in need of love.\"\n\nWhile working on the intro, he was reminded of the church radio programs he used to hear when he was a child. \"An announcer would come on and say, 'Good morning or good evening everyone in radioland. I want to give you a message' – the whole deal, you know. My inspiration was the gospel quartets of the 1950s, like the one Sam Cooke was in.
