"You Gotta Love Someone" is a song by English musician Elton John, written by John along with Bernie Taupin and released as a single from the Days of Thundersoundtrack in October 1990. The single was also used to promote the Rocket Records 2-CD retrospective The Very Best of Elton John, issued largely in overseas markets excluding the United States, where the more expansive box set To Be Continued... was issued.[2]
Produced by Don Was, "You Gotta Love Someone" and the three other tracks that close disc 4 of To Be Continued... (along with "Made for Me", "Easier to Walk Away" and "I Swear I Heard the Night Talking", the latter of which was released first as a B-side of the single in France), were all recorded in one take each (minus overdubs).[3] The tracks were also purported to be selections for a possible studio album project that was later abandoned.
The single peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent five weeks at number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, his tenth such achievement there. In Canada, the song topped the RPM Top Singles chart for a week, becoming John's fourteenth number-one single in Canada.
Music videoedit
The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[4] It is very similar overall to his 1993 video for Billy Joel's hit "The River of Dreams", with several elements from the earlier video (such as lighting, sets, locations, camera angles, tinting etc.) being re-used with very slight variations in the later one.
