Background and composition
"In the Name of Love" is a future bass song, which contains "a combination of piano, bass, and guitar strums strums [which] provide percussion throughout demure verses".[3]
Garrix and Rexha used FaceTime when she was recording the song as he was not in the studio initially. The two later gathered together to finish it.[4]
Garrix debuted the song by playing it on his set in March 2016 at the Ultra Music Festival 2016.[5] He announced the release of the song on 24 July 2016 via his social media accounts and a Tomorrowland 2016 interview.[6] In an interview, he said the "album is finished" and this song would appear as the first single from his upcoming album on which he said he was working.[7] It was the first track released since his deal with Sony Music which would also be distributed by the latter.[8]
When asked why he chose Bebe Rexha for the collaboration, Garrix said, "First of all, I love to hear her voice. I met her earlier this year in LA. She played me some of her demos and just straight away after the first song, I fell in love with her voice because it's so unique it's so different. The team and I were brainstorming and then Bebe ended up doing it, with a lot of sending back and forth, lots of shaping and polishing the song and then we finally came up with the version how the world knows it right now."[9]
Critical reception
Kat Bein of Billboard wrote that the song shows Garrix's artistic growth, "[it's] a far cry from the hard-hitting, stomp-ready beat of his breakthrough", and called the song "a charming track, as delicate as it is clean. It's Garrix sharing his softer side."[3] Idolator's Rachel Sonis felt the song sounded "like the summer anthem we’ve been waiting for all along".[10]
Music video
The official music video was released on Apple Music[11] on 9 August 2016 and on YouTube[12] on 23 August 2016. It was directed by Emil Nava.[13] The video opens with Rexha wearing a red dress and red pvc thigh high boots by a swimming pool on a springboard outside a mansion, surrounded by rushes of smoke, storm clouds and water explosions just after Garrix comes into the scene by walking towards a springboard standing just few feet away from her. He holds Rexha as they sink beneath the surface of water.[14] The video has over 700 million views as of July 2022.
