"Love Is All That Matters" is the third single taken from the British Synthpop group The Human League's 1986 album, "Crash". It was recorded in early 1986 at the Flyte Time studios in Minneapolis while the Human League were in residence recording Crash with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.This single was like many others from the album, a love song aimed towards the US market, where the first single from "Crash", "Human", had reached number one. However, this single failed and only charted in the UK where it reached number 41. The B side is an instrumental verson.

In the UK, after the dismal failure of the second single from "Crash" "I Need Your Loving" had put a stop to further releases from "Crash". "Love Is All That Matters" was released principally to promote the imminent release of the (then) first Human League Greatest Hits album in 1988.

Cover Artwork

The cover artwork designed by Ken Ansell, is actually a gatefold of a single photograph of Susan Ann Sulley, Philip Oakey and Joanne Catherall. On the front of the album cover and when in a CD Jewel case only Oakey is visible.

Music Video

The music video was a result of Virgin Records beginning to lose faith in the Human League and being reluctant to invest in any further elaborate music videos; so the video was kept deliberately low budget. The video is basically edited clips of all the band’s previous music videos to that point, spliced together with animated stills from the key points from those videos. This was also designed to provide a storyboard which promoted the band’s back catalogue to generate interest in the Greatest Hits compilation, the principal reason "Love Is All That Matters" was released in the first place.
