I Want Love
"I Want Love" is a song by British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, released as the first single from John's 2001 album Songs from the West Coast. The song reached the top ten in Canada and the United Kingdom. In the US, "I Want Love" reached No. 10 on the Billboard "Bubbling Under" chart and number six on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song also featured in an advert for Royal Mail, in which John starred. It was nominated for a Grammy award in 2002 for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
"I Want Love" is performed in the musical biopic film Rocketman, sung by a cast including Kit Connor, Steven Mackintosh, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Gemma Jones.
Music video
The music video was shot with the actor Robert Downey Jr. walking through Greystone Mansion and lip-syncing the song. Video director Sam Taylor-Johnson shot 16 takes of the video and used the last one because, according to John, Downey looked completely relaxed, and, "The way he underplays it is fantastic".
