"Love Is in the Air" is a 1977 disco song sung by John Paul Young. It became his only worldwide hit during 1978, peaking at #2 on the Australian charts and #5 in the UK singles chart. In the United States, the song peaked at #7 on the pop chart and spent two weeks at #1 on the adult contemporary chart, his only US hit.[1]
Love Is In The Air was the theme song to Baz Luhrmann's 1992 debut feature film "Strictly Ballroom".
In 1997, the song was covered by Krush featuring Simon Green.
In 2007, the song was also covered by Rupert Everett and Colin Firth for the movie St. Trinian's.
Cher also made a cover of the song, and it was originally planned for her album, Believe. It was, however, removed for the final version.
