The 2010 version of "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner is a reimagined take on their iconic 1984 power ballad. Originally written by Foreigner’s guitarist Mick Jones, the song quickly became one of the band's biggest hits, blending rock and gospel influences with heartfelt lyrics about searching for love and meaning. The 2010 version was recorded with new band members and brings a more polished, modern sound while preserving the emotional intensity of the original.
This rendition still features powerful vocals, now sung by Kelly Hansen, along with rich backing vocals by a gospel choir, deepening the song’s sense of yearning and hope. The timeless message of longing for true love and connection resonates just as much in this updated version, making it a favorite among both longtime fans and new listeners.
