"I'm Not in Love" is one of the most iconic songs by British band 10cc. It was released in May 1975 as part of their album The Original Soundtrack and quickly became a worldwide hit. Here I give you a rundown of the song's history, its impact, and some relevant videos.

The song was written by two of the band's core members, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. The central theme of the song is a man who repeatedly insists that he is not in love, even though lyrical clues suggest otherwise.

What makes "I'm Not in Love" particularly innovative is its unique production. The song is famous for its use of an ethereal choir of voices and multiple backing vocals, which were created through a tape loop recording technique. The group recorded 256 vocal parts that were mixed together to create an immersive, synthesizer-like sound, but with human voices.

The song was a huge hit, reaching number one on the UK charts and number two on the US charts. It was also critically acclaimed and remains one of the most recognizable songs of the 1970s.

"I'm Not in Love" has been covered by numerous artists over the years and has appeared in several films, television shows, and advertisements. Its innovative sound has been influential in pop music and remains a standard of romantic music.

The song has been used in films such as Guardians of the Galaxy and The Virgin Suicides, which has helped introduce it to new generations.

Conclusion

"I'm Not in Love" is a pop music masterpiece, both for its lyrics and innovative production. Its impact has been lasting, and it remains one of the most beloved ballads of all time.
