I Need to Be in Love is a song written by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis. It was released as a single on May 21, 1976. It was featured on the "A Kind of Hush" album, which was released on June 11 of the same year. The single featured a version without the piano lead-in and starts immediately with a flute introduction by Bob Messenger. Many fans treasure this song, because many believe that this song was Karen Carpenter's favorite Carpenters' song[1][2][3].

Mr. Carpenter states that although the song only peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100, it was released as a CD single in 1995. "It became one of the biggest sellers of 1995, ultimately going quadruple platinum. In more ways than one, Karen would have loved that!"[4]
