An international hit for John Paul Young in 1978, 'Love Is in the Air' reached No. 3 on the Australian charts, No. 5 in the UK and No. 7 in the US.
The song was written by songwriting and producing partners Harry Vanda and George Young (Vanda and Young). In 1992 it became the theme song to Baz Luhrmann's debut feature Strictly Ballroom; the 'Ballroom Mix' climbed the Australian charts and helped make 'Love is in the Air' the 'Most played Australian song overseas' according to APRA.
JPY has performed it at many significant events including the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, and most recently at a Marriage Equality street party in October 2017. The song is also an unofficial anthem for supporters of Dundee United football club in Scotland, who regularly sing it at matches.
