While seeking material for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, Republic Records contacted various artists, managers and music publishers to create a compilation that would appropriately represent the film's tone. Its accompanying music video, which features scenes of the film and Goulding dancing with her partner in a ballroom, became the 21st video to receive one billion views on YouTube and received a nomination at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Female Video. Outside the United Kingdom, "Love Me like You Do" became Goulding's most successful single as well as becoming her first chart-topper in various countries, going number one in over 30 official charts worldwide, including Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland and peaking within the top ten of the charts in various countries, including Belgium, Colombia and the United States. "Love Me like You Do" topped the UK Singles Chart, a position it maintained for four weeks and held the record for the most-streamed track in a single week in the United Kingdom at the time. The song earned Goulding her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance, while the songwriters were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song. It received acclaim from music critics, who praised Goulding's soft vocals and the song for being sultry and grandiose.

Lyrically, similar to the film's theme, the song talks about the uncontrollable feeling of falling in love and being seduced by someone whose touch leaves her begging for more, even when it hurts. "Love Me like You Do" is a mid-tempo electropop power ballad, with instrumentation consisting of massive synths and crushing drums. The song was also included on Goulding's third studio album, Delirium (2015).

It was released on 7 January 2015 as the second single from the soundtrack. Goulding was selected to provide vocals to the track. The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Tove Lo, Max Martin and Ali Payami the latter two also produced it. " Love Me like You Do" is a song recorded by English singer Ellie Goulding for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). Fifty Shades soundtrack singles chronology

Says Mackay, “You’re not going to have a soundtrack this expansive and a movie with this many cues and do it in a. From the start it was clear the soundtrack, which Republic signed up for in December 2013, would not be a showcase for Republic acts.

An early music meeting that included Universal marketing executives led to Knobloch and his team reaching out to Beyoncé for a two-fer: a sultry rerecording of her “Crazy in Love” and a remix of “Haunted,” both of which appeared in the film and in advertising. “There was a lot of back-and-forth to tailor to the scenes,” says Republic GM Tom Mackay. Vaults‘ “One Last Night” is the only track used on an early cut to be included in the finished film. Two of the film’s 26 songs come straight from the novel - Frank Sinatra‘s “Witchcraft” and The Rolling Stones‘ “Beast of Burden” - but the prominent tracks were created by having such songwriters as Sia watch the film in postproduction. James, Taylor-Johnson and Universal Pictures’ team wanted to honor the music mentioned in the book without being beholden to it.
