The KLF could not leave "What Time Is Love?" alone. The track that landed on The White Room in 1991 kept resurfacing in their output from 1988 to 1992, mix after mix, and came back once more in 1997 under the name 2K. It began as a wordless electronic dance anthem; later rebuilds piled on vocals and extra instrumentation, and two of them became international hits, "What Time Is Love? (Live at Trancentral)" reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart in 1990 and "America: What Time Is Love?" getting to number four in 1991.
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond wrote it with Isaac Bello, who sings lead, while Cressida Bowyer and Lindz E Love add backing vocals, Lenny Dee and Tony Thorpe work the samplers, and Amanda Glanfield and Major Malfunktion play synths. The KLF produced it and shared the mix with Mark "Spike" Stent.
