"Show Me Love" is a song by Swedish singer and songwriter Robyn. It was first released in Sweden in February 1997 as the fourth single from her debut studio album, Robyn Is Here (1995). The song was her third UK and second US single. Robyn wrote it with Max Martin, who also produced the song with Denniz Pop. Its music video was directed by Kevin Bray. The song is sometimes confused with Robin S.'s 1993 single "Show Me Love" because of identical song titles and similar first names; however, the two songs are not related.[3]

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "far more seductive tone of this jeep-pop confection" than her earlier hit single, "Do You Know (What It Takes)". He noted that Robyn "proves her capability to handle a meaty tune with a respectable degree of soul. She tweaks the song's ear-grabbing chorus and muscular bassline with subtle improvisations and an assertive edge that impresses."[4] In a retrospective review, Can't Stop the Pop felt that on the song "she's dropping her guard and committing herself to a teen-pop romance". They added that the chorus is "spectacularly catchy".[5] British magazine Music Week gave "Show Me Love" five out of five, naming it the "strongest track" from the album, "[that] should launch her as a serious contender for the swingbeat crown".[6]

Chart performance

In Sweden, "Show Me Love" became Robyn's fourth highest-charting single, peaking at number 14, lower than "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)", which both went top 10. In the United States, the single peaked at number seven, her second consecutive top 10 hit. In December 1997, the single received a gold certification from the RIAA in recognition of 500,000 copies sold in the US.[7] It was Robyn's last top-10 single and remains her last charting single on the Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, "Show Me Love" became Robyn's first of two top-20 singles from Robyn Is Here and her first top-10 single, peaking at number eight; it was Robyn's fourth best-performing single, with 113,000 sales and 1.22 million audio streams according to the Official Charts Company.[8]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Show Me Love" was directed by Kevin Bray and premiered on 20 July 1997 on the television network The Box.[9][10] The video is shot with two cutscenes: one with Robyn in a light blue top alone lip-syncing to camera filmed in mostly color and the other of her in a black sweatsuit lip-syncing to camera filmed in mostly black-and-white with a large group of urbane extras shown conversing in a loosely grouped line behind her while a guitarist, keytar player, and drummer with drumkit play among them.

Usage in media

The song was performed in 1997 on the television series All That and features on the soundtrack of TV series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. It was also played at the very end of the Swedish film Show Me Love. The film was originally titled Fucking Åmål but was retitled for distribution in the English-speaking world after the name of the song.

In 2019 the song was featured in the West End musical & Juliet.

Impact and legacy

In 2017, Billboard ranked "Show Me Love" number 32 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Pop Songs of 1997".[11] In 2022, Pitchfork ranked it number 241 in their list of "The 250 Best Songs of the 1990s".[12]
