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 .
