Ben Lee wrote "Love Me Like the World Is Ending" on his own, and in 2007 it led the way for his album Ripe, released through Inertia, as its opening single. The title makes the pitch all by itself, and Australian radio bit hard: only one song picked up more new station adds in its opening week, and it went on to reach 18 on the Australian singles chart.

The single carried two more songs that later landed on Ripe, "Sex Without Love" and "What Would Jay-Z Do?", and the track found another home on television, where it was the first song featured in Life Unexpected.
