Released on 3 July 2000, "I Want Your Love" peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and number 48 in Ireland. Initial copies of the singles also contained a sample of the KLF's 1991 hit single "Justified & Ancient",[3] but later copies had the sample removed.[citation needed] In 2004, "I Want Your Love" was included on Atomic Kitten's The Greatest Hits compilation.

Music video

edit

The video for the song was inspired by David Bowie's debut hit "Space Oddity". It opens with the doors opening in three rooms on a planet (red, yellow, and blue). Natasha Hamilton is in a red room on a bed, Liz McClarnon is in a blue room lying on the blue wall and Kerry Katona is in a yellow room sitting by a soft teddy bear. Shots in chorus one has three women dancing on a planet on a circle in the middle. During the bridge section, the Kittens are in the middle of a circle on a planet with three men, and they make a sound effect by moving their arms. In the bridge and the final chorus, the three girls and other dancers dance on a big circle on a planet. An alternate version of the music video shows clips from the 2000 film Titan A.E..
