Background
"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."
