Richard Curtis approached Wet Wet Wet about recording a cover song to soundtrack his film Four Weddings and a Funeral.[19] The band got to pick between three choices of songs, the other two being "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor and "Can't Smile Without You" by Barry Manilow.[19] Singer Marti Pellow related that the decision to pick "Love is All Around" was an easy choice "because we knew we could make it our own".[19] The song, which has a different introduction from the Troggs' version, was released on 9 May 1994.
