About The Song
Ah, love songs. Those timeless tunes that capture the fluttering heart, the sleepless nights, and the all-consuming feeling of being smitten. Country music legend Alan Jackson knows a thing or two about crafting these classics, and his song “It Must Be Love” is no exception. Released in 2000 on his album “Under the Influence”, this track is a relatable and heartwarming ode to the powerful grip of love.
Now, for some of us, the years may have mellowed the wild flutters, but the essence of a good love song still resonates. “It Must Be Love” isn’t about the passionate whirlwind of young love, but rather the comfortable warmth of a love that’s settled in. It speaks to those familiar feelings that come creeping back – the stolen glances across the room, the daydreams filled with a special someone, and the quiet contentment that washes over you when you’re together.
Jackson, with his signature smooth baritone, delivers the lyrics with a sincerity that makes you believe every word. He sings of the physical manifestations of love – the unexplained chills and flushes, the constant yearning – all with a touch of humor that endears him to the listener.
There’s a vulnerability in this song, too. The narrator admits to sleepless nights, consumed by thoughts of the beloved. This rawness taps into a universal experience, reminding us that even in mature love, the power of desire and longing doesn’t completely fade.
But ultimately, “It Must Be Love” is a feel-good song. It’s a celebration of that special connection, the one that makes you feel like you’re floating on air. It’s a gentle reminder of the joy love brings, a sentiment that transcends age. So, whether you’re reminiscing about youthful romances or cherishing a long-lasting partnership, “It Must Be Love” is a song that will undoubtedly strike a chord.
