Released on May 7, 1973, as the lead single from his fourth studio album, Living in the MaterialWorld, "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" was a massive success. Upon its release, the track climbed up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 1 on June 30 where it famously knocked Paul McCartney and Wings' song "My Love" to the No. 2 spot.
The historic crossover marked Harrison's second solo single to top the charts after "My Sweet Lord" and represents the only time two former Beatles members have held the top two positions simultaneously. His album Living in the MaterialWorld was his second major solo project after the breakup of the Beatles in 1970, following All Things Must Pass. The record was a massive commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 and reaching the No. 2 spot on the UK Official Albums Chart, further solidifying his lasting relevance outside the band.

Written by Harrison, the track explores the feeling of searching for divine intervention. The song acts as a prayer for guidance when attempting to find inner peace. Harrison draws directly from his personal experience with Eastern philosophy and his desire for a spiritual connection with a higher power.
