'I wasn't going to get involved in that soundtrack because I've done a lot of soundtracks and we kind of thought we've done a bit too much film stuff. However, after meeting the film crew and hearing the ballad she accepted. Goulding, who previously contributed songs to the soundtracks to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn вЂ“ Part 2, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Divergent, initially thought about declining the invitation to record another song for a soundtrack to focus on her then-upcoming third studio album.

After that, the film director Sam Taylor-Johnson asked Ellie Goulding to sing the song. However, after being shown a scene from the film during a meeting for the film's soundtrack, Martin thought 'Love Me like You Do' could work, and began reworking the song for inclusion. According to Kotecha, 'Love Me like You Do' was already being developed by both him and Martin prior to Fifty Shades of Grey, and he had considered giving the song to American singer Demi Lovato. Ilya started writing the chorus, while Ali Payami and Martin came next, with Martin 'tweaking' the song and Savan Kotecha and Tove Lo also contributing with lyrics. 'Love Me like You Do' was the result of Republic executive Tom Mackay contacting Max Martin's manager about writing a song for the film. While seeking material for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, Republic Records contacted various artists, managers and music publishers to create a compilation that would appropriately represent the film's tone.

Its accompanying music video, which features scenes of the film and Goulding dancing with her partner in a ballroom, became the 21st video to receive one billion views on YouTube and received a nomination at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video. Outside the United Kingdom, 'Love Me like You Do' became Goulding's most successful single as well as becoming her first chart-topper in various countries, going number one in over 30 official charts worldwide, including Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland and peaking within the top ten of the charts in various countries, including Belgium, Colombia and the United States. 'Love Me like You Do' topped the UK Singles Chart, a position it maintained for four weeks and held the record for the most-streamed track in a single week in the United Kingdom at the time. The song earned Goulding her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance, while the songwriters were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song. It received acclaim from music critics, who praised Goulding's soft vocals and the song for being sultry and grandiose. Lyrically, similar to the film's theme, the song talks about the uncontrollable feeling of falling in love and being seduced by someone whose touch leaves her begging for more, even when it hurts. 'Love Me like You Do' is a mid-tempo electropop power ballad, with instrumentation consisting of massive synths and crushing drums. The song was also included on Goulding's third studio album, Delirium (2015). It was released on 7 January 2015 as the second single from the soundtrack. Goulding was selected to provide vocals to the track. The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Tove Lo, Max Martin and Ali Payami the latter two also produced it. ' Love Me like You Do' is a song recorded by English singer Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). Fifty Shades soundtrack singles chronology
