"Drunk on Love" is a song by Polish-born singer Basia, released in 1994 by Epic Records as the third single from her third album, The Sweetest Illusion (1994). The song was co-written and produced by Basia and Danny White. It became a No. 1 hit on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, while peaking at numbers 41 and 12 on the UK Singles Chart and the UK Dance Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Nick Morris and filmed in London. "Drunk on Love" remains one of Basia's biggest hits.

Overview

The song was written by Basia Trzetrzelewska, Danny White and Peter Ross, and produced by Danny and Basia. It is an uptempo jazz-pop composition with layered scat singing. The track served as the third overall single from The Sweetest Illusion, preceded in 1993 by "More Fire Than Flame", released only in Japan, and the US-only single "Yearning" earlier in 1994. Remixed by Roger Sanchez into what has been described as a "gospel-house" track, "Drunk on Love" turned out very popular in clubs and eventually reached no.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 11, 2026.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
