"I achieved something specially different with Love To Love You Baby and I Feel Love. These songs will endure"
About this Quote
Moroder isn’t bragging so much as staking a claim in the ongoing fight over who gets to write pop history: the singers up front, or the architects behind the glass. When he says he did something “specially different” with “Love to Love You Baby” and “I Feel Love,” he’s pointing to a production revolution that still feels oddly under-credited in mainstream storytelling. Those records didn’t just succeed; they rewired what a hit could sound like.
The intent is part testimony, part correction. “Love to Love You Baby” turned eroticism into a studio-built environment: extended, hypnotic, engineered to blur pleasure and mechanics. Then “I Feel Love” pushed the logic further, stripping disco’s sweat-and-strings down to a clean, insistent machine pulse. The subtext is that Moroder’s “difference” wasn’t a new chord progression; it was a new operating system. Synths and sequencers weren’t garnish - they became the song’s body.
“These songs will endure” lands like a producer’s quiet flex because endurance is the ultimate metric in dance music, a genre constantly declared disposable. Moroder is betting on influence as proof: techno, house, synth-pop, modern EDM, even the way contemporary pop builds tension with repetition and texture. He’s also defending craft. In an era that often treats production as invisible labor, he’s naming the tracks as monuments - not to nostalgia, but to a moment when the future arrived on the radio and nobody could un-hear it.
