創作背景
這首歌是他們在英國銷量最大的單曲,也是20世紀90年代英國第13大熱銷單曲,銷量為430,000張。它從未作為商業單曲在美國發行,但成為了MTV的主要內容和廣播播放。它在美國Billboard Hot 100 Airplay排行榜上花了56周時間,排在第4位。這首歌是專輯的最後一分鐘,當時Zomba的主席Clive Calder聽到了這首歌,並打電話給Jive Records總裁Barry Weiss,然後他聯繫了樂隊的經理Johnny Wright。
由於生產鏈中某人的錯誤,“只要你愛我”的早期組合包括在Backstreet's Back和1997年美國后街男孩專輯中。在1998年發行的美國首張專輯的第二次印刷中糾正了這個錯誤。據稱這對作家和製片人馬克斯·馬丁感到惱火。這個早期版本隨後成為單一廣播和視頻版本。它有不同的儀器和混音,以及略有不同的結構,非常類似於他們之前的美國單曲“ Quit Playing Games(with My Heart) ”。最終版本通常列為“收音機”或“視頻版”。
該單曲在英國售出超過530,000份。
歌詞
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're coming from
I don't care
As long as you love me baby
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Who who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who who you are
Where you're from where you're from
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did I don't care
As long as you love me
