I do n't know where it came from. I consider it a gift that was sent through me. I think there was something bigger than me behind it. I 'd say it was probably written entirely by a higher force. `` '' Mick Jones Written and composed by Mick Jones, with an uncredited portion ( somewhere between 5 % according to Jones and 40 % according to Gramm ) by Lou Gramm, and produced by Jones and Alex Sadkin, `` I Want to Know What Love Is '' was the first single released from Foreigner 's album Agent Provocateur ( 1984 ). The song features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir affiliated with the Gospel Music Workshop of America, Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday, and featured keyboard work by Thompson Twins frontman Tom Bailey. The choir also appears in the song 's music video. `` I Want to Know What Love Is '' reached # 1 in the UK Singles Chart on January 15, 1985, displacing Band Aid 's `` Do They Know It 's Christmas ? '', staying there for three weeks, and knocked Madonna 's long - running `` Like a Virgin '' out of # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 2, 1985. It was Foreigner 's first and only pop chart topper in either country, although the band had four # 1 Mainstream Rock hits and a # 1 Adult Contemporary radio hit in the US. This was the band 's third of four # 1 singles on the Mainstream Rock chart. The song spent five weeks at # 1 in Australia and also hit the top of the charts in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden, peaking at # 2 in Switzerland and South Africa. We did a few takes, and it was good, but it was still a bit tentative. So then they all got round in a circle, held hands and said The Lord 's Prayer. And it seemed to inspire them, because after that they did it in one take. I was in tears, because my mum and dad were in the studio too, and it was so emotional. `` '' -- Mick Jones on recording with the choir. The song has received positive retrospective reviews from critics, with Bret Adams of AllMusic writing : `` It 's not hard to see why it became Foreigner 's first # 1 single. Its dreamy, hypnotic feel is due in part to Lou Gramm 's soulful lead vocals and the New Jersey Mass Choir 's background vocals. '' The song was also issued as a 12 '' single with a longer time length of 6 : 23. This version contains a slightly longer intro and an extended vocal chorus / fadeout ending. The single 's B - Side `` Street Thunder ( Marathon Theme ) '' is an instrumental track originally appearing on The Official Music of the XXIII Olympiad -- Los Angeles 1984 and later on the band 's 2 - CD compilation Jukebox Heroes : The Foreigner Anthology ( 2000 ). Soon after Foreigner 's single topped the charts, the New Jersey Mass Choir released its own similar - sounding version of the song on an album that it also titled I Want to Know What Love Is. The choir 's single peaked at # 37 on the Hot Black Singles chart and # 12 on the Hot Dance Music / Maxi - Singles Sales chart. The Foreigner song was ranked by Billboard as the # 4 Billboard Hot 100 single of 1985. It was the band 's third Platinum single in the U.S. and their first and only Gold single in the UK. Originally consisting of three verses, a pre-chorus and a chorus, the song was extended with a bridge written by original songwriter Mick Jones specifically for Tina Arena 's cover in 1998.

'' ( 2009 ) `` I Want to Know What Love Is '' was covered by American singer Mariah Carey and released as the second single from her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel ( 2009 ). The single, produced by Carey, C. `` Tricky '' Stewart and James `` Big Jim '' Wright, was sent to European radio stations on August 28 and first impacted U.S. radio on September 14, 2009. Mick Jones said of her version : `` I think she 's actually retained the integrity of the song. You know, the arrangement is very similar to the original. They have n't tampered with the song too much. She 's captured a certain emotional thing, a feeling. '' Critical reception The single was generally well received by critics ; Australian magazine Rhyme & Reason stated that `` ( While Carey stayed ) (... ) true to the original, this piano - led remake is less an overhaul of the classic ' 80s hit than it is a modest but impressive update. '' The UK Daily Star gave it a 5 out of 5 rating : `` ( The song is ) given the Carey treatment and ( is ) complete with choir and karaoke climax. It 's a great rework. '' Bill Lamb from About.com said that `` Mariah Carey 's new version could leave you speechless. The diversity of vocal coloring expressed in this recording is stunning. While the single Obsessed remains disappointing, this single is a reminder of just how formidable Carey 's talents are given a strong production and arrangement ''. Writing in a Los Angeles Times music blog, Todd Martens said, `` ( T ) ackling a well - known power ballad seems like a safe choice. It 's a comfortable fall - back plan after `` Obsessed '' performed well, but did far from blockbuster numbers. It will undoubtedly be a hit, but it 's giving me more reason to fear Imperfect Angel. The sort - of - real / sort - of - not feud with Eminem seemed largely a ploy to keep Carey in the headlines, and covering Foreigner seems just as calculated to steer Carey back onto familiar ground. '' Performances and promotion Carey debuted `` I Want to Know What Love Is '' at her Live At The Pearl concerts in the Pearl Arena at The Palms Casino & Resort, Las Vegas, on September 11 and 12, 2009. Carey performed the song live on The Oprah Winfrey Show on September 18. A New York radio station contest featured as its prize a mini concert by Carey at the P.C. Richard Theater in TriBeCa, New York on October 5, where she sang the song as well as `` Obsessed '' and `` H.A.T.E.U. '', also from the album. Carey performed the single on Italy 's X factor on November 11, and in France where she did various radio interviews. Music video Carey filmed a music video for `` I Want to Know What Love Is '' in September 2009 in New York City, directed by Hype Williams. The video premiered on Mariah 's official website on November 13, 2009. The video features Carey singing in Yankee Stadium, intercut with shots of audience members, often accompanied by loved ones, and some glimpses into the tough times in their past, as they grow emotional from the song 's performance. A gospel choir joins Carey at the center of the stadium at the video 's end. Carey wears the signature curly hairstyle from the initial stages of her career ca. 1990 -- 1993, maintaining the Memoirs theme of the album.
