É uma das músicas mais marcantes da carreira da banda e rendeu vários prêmios.[1] nos rankings mundiais e seu videoclipe foi bastante reproduzido. No Brasil, entrou para a trilha sonora internacional da novela Por Amor em 1998.

Letra
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 (who you are)/
here you're from (where you're from)/
What you did/
As long as you love me (I don't know)/
Who you are (who you are)/
Where you're from (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 (who you are)/
Where you're from (where you're from)/
What you did/
As long as you love me (you love me)/
(repeat to fade)/
who you are (who you are)/
Where you're from (where you're from)/
Don't care what you did/
As long as you love me (you love me)/
Who you are (who you are)/
Where you're from/
what did you did/
as long as you love me/
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
Recepção critica
Stephen Thomas Erlewine do AllMusic afirmou que "As Long as You Love Me" "teria soado perfeito em qualquer época".[2] Ele também elogiou a produção engenhosa da música, que ele descreveu "tão irresistível quanto o pop adolescente pode ser".[3] John Dingwall do Daily Record afirmou que a música o lembrava de "The 90s New Kids On The Block". Chuck Arnold, da People Magazine, a viu como sua "canção de assinatura suntuosa", observando que "é sobre deixar sua vida nas mãos de alguém especial - com a única condição de que essa pessoa também o ame. Parece um acordo."[4]
