"Love Like This" is a song recorded by Australian singer and actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte. It was written by Paul Barry, Alex Smith and Mark Taylor. The song was released on 29 January 2010 as the fifth and final single from Bassingthwaighte's debut solo album 1000 Stars. Upon its release, "Love Like This" peaked at number 88 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
"Love Like This" was released to support the AIDS Council of New South Wales' campaign "Wear It With Pride" leading up to the 2010 Mardi Gras parade. All of the single's proceeds went towards the ongoing support of the LGBT community. Of the single and the campaign, Bassingthwaighte said: "I would so love everybody to get behind this campaign and the message of this song as it would illustrate to the world how the whole country endorses and celebrates the LGBT community and these reforms. I support equal rights for all Australians and I hope that is what 'Love Like This' and our video will say."[1]
The music video for "Love Like This" was directed by Jan Reichle and premiered on 27 January 2010.[2] [3] The video features cameo appearances from many Australian TV personalities, including Kylie Gillies and Richard Reid, all of whom are wearing a selection of "Wear It With Pride" T-shirts to support the campaign.[1] [3]
