Gimme Some Love
"Gimme Some Love" is a song recorded by Australian singer Gina G from her debut album, "Fresh!" (1997). Released in August 1997, it was the fifth single release by Gina G (though the catalogue number indicates it may have been planned to be released ahead of "Ti Amo") and the second single to be released in the US. She wrote it with Bob Wainwright, John Collins, Mark Taylor and Richard Burton. The second UK CD release contained remixes of "Higher Than Love", a Motiv8-produced song from the "Fresh!" album, which had previously been released on promotional  vinyl. In the UK, "Gimme Some Love" peaked at number 25 (her last Top 40 hit), spending just two weeks in the UK Top 75 and a further three weeks in the Top 200. Critical reception. J.D. Considine from "The Baltimore Sun" noted the song's "pumping house beats". Larry Flick from "Billboard" wrote, "Hot on the heels of "Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit" comes this frenetic Euro-NRG stomper. Hard as it may be to believe, the hook here is just as quick and catchy as its predecessor, and Gina's wide-eyed performance bursts with infectious glee . Expect to be bouncing to this well into the spring season—and use it as an excuse to dip into the singer's festive full-length set ""Fresh""." Richard Paton from "The Blade" noted the "irresistible grooves" of the song. A reviewer from "People Magazine" commented, "Don't be surprised to find yourself high on the giddiness of impossibly catchy numbers like "Follow the Light" and "Gimme Some Love"". Pop Rescue said that the song has "tons of house piano and synth sequences, and a bass and drum sequence that sounds like it’s popped round after finishing working for  contemporaries 2 Unlimited or Culture Beat."

"Gimme Some Love" was a moderate success on the charts, reaching the Top 10 on the "RPM" Dance/Urban chart and the Top 50 on the "RPM" Top Singles chart in Canada, the Top 20 in Scotland and the Top 30 in the United Kingdom. In the latter, the single peaked at number 25 in its first week at the UK Singles Chart, on August 31, 1997. It was Gina G's last Top 40 hit there.
