Olly Alexander said of the song, “I was so happy when Target asked me to create my own version of the legendary Crystal Waters track "100% Pure Love". I knew right away I wanted to work with Georgia and Mark Ralph to bring this cover to life. Crystal's vocal on the original is so captivating, she has such a special energy and that really inspired me when I came to record my vocals. I'm really hoping people enjoy it, it has such a positive message and liberating feel to it, I love it!”- source : Apple Music
