"Love Me like You Do" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Tove Lo, Max Martin and Ali Payami; the latter two also produced it. Initially, Kotecha thought about giving the song to American singer Demi Lovato. However, after he and Max Martin were commissioned to write a song for the film, they thought that "Love Me like You Do" suited the film and Goulding was selected to sing the track. It was released on 7 January 2015 as the second single from the soundtrack. The song was also included on Goulding's third studio album, Delirium (2015).
