Rowland has acknowledged on several occasions that although she loved , it was not really the type of music she would record. While in Europe in 2008, she met Guetta at one of his DJ shows in Southern France, and commented that "Listening to him was just crazy." Guetta was playing the instrumental version of "When Love Takes Over". Recalling that it brought tears to her eyes, Rowland remarked, "I felt so much em something happened the first time I heard it, and it was just beautiful. And I remember thinking 'Why is this touching me like this?' You know, it was like there was a kinda soul-tie to it!" Upon meeting Guetta, she asked him for the song so she could write its lyrics. "So I met David and asked him for the track... He gave it to me, and I brought it back here to London, UK and wrote the actual song". At a writing session in a London hotel room, Rowland and songwriting duo
wrote the lyrics and melody over Guetta's backing track. Rowland later joined Guetta and Julie Terry Lefèvre-Han in the recording studio to finish off the song.
Later in a 2010 interview, The Nervo Twins revealed that Rowland's
were not keen on the song despite their and Rowland's enthusiasm. Consequently "When Love Takes Over" was shelved until Guetta rediscovered the song when compiling his fourth studio album, . The finished song with Rowland's vocals and Guetta's production was premiered in March 2009 at the
in . A month later on 21 April 2009, the single was released in Europe, and the United States. In the UK, the single's release had to be brought forward to 11 June 2009 to combat an "inferior" cover version released on 9 May 2009. Additionally, beginning in July/August 2009, American TV channel
licensed the song for a two-month period, to use for in-house advertising.
The recording and mixing of "When Love Takes Over" took place in summer and autumn of 2008. After Rowland heard the instrumental of "When Love Takes Over"—a piano loop-based melody with throbbing percussion—she asked Guetta if she could take the demo and several other tracks to work on. She wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals in London, within a day. She was aided by Australian songwriters and producers Miriam and Olivia Nervo (). However the song remained unfinished until Guetta rediscovered the track while compiling his
album. After getting selected for the album, "When Love Takes Over" was given to Frédéric Riesterer who, aside from producing the song with Guetta, was tasked the final
of the song. However Riesterer decided to give the track to French
Veronica Ferraro, who would later go on to say that "Reisterer was supposed to mix it, but he wanted me to do it and see how it turned out. The first time I heard the track I immediately knew it would be a huge hit." The track was mixed in September 2008, at Ferraro's Super Sonic Scale studio near Paris, the day after her birthday.
Before working on the song's individual elements, Ferraro converted the recording sessions from a generic
system to her programme of choice, . Following this, she decided that she would focus primarily on Rowland's vocals.
"Frédéric had the right sounds on the drums and the keyboards, so I did not change very much. I just did some standard things, with
and things like that. After that my obsession was to get the vocals to sound as good as possible. When I'm mixing a track, I want something to happen, something that takes the listener somewhere. You want the right things in the right place, but it's not a technical issue. It's actually an artistic issue to have everything in the right place – the mixing has to be magic. It was not difficult in this case, because I knew the song would be a hit, but I did my best to make the vocal sound magical, like an angel singing, so that the hit quality of the song was immediately obvious. I wanted to make sure that the voice takes you from the beginning to the end and doesn't lose you."
Ferraro told
that she did add a
sample, as she felt that the kick was missing something. "Rather than equalise it, I added a little bit of my sample to make the BD track sound bigger". However she did alter the two piano elements of the song, using the Flex Studio Tool to widen the sound of the piano element without the delay. Additionally, Ferraro used a number of French plug-in software to amplify many of the track's instruments, including the violin,
and guitar samples. She then moved on to Rowland's vocals, which "were extensively processed", including
and . Then upon completion of her work on the song, Ferraro sent "When Love Takes Over" to her husband, Bruno Gruel, and his Elektra Mastering Suite which is located in the same building as the Super Sonic Scale Studio. Gruel received the song in a standard Pro Tools format, /. He used several pieces of software to realign all of the elements of the song, particularly the bass drums and low .

"When Love Takes Over" is a
and "uplifting floor-filler" produced by Guetta and his associate Frédéric Riesterer. Jason Lipshutz from Billboard magazine described it as a "pop number built around a lush piano loop and throbbing percussion" with
elements. According to the sheet music published
by , the song was written in the key of F
of 130 . The
is /–/F–F4–F. The final recording and mixing took place at Gum Prod Studios in Paris. Some elements of the song were compared to the riff and piano opener in the song "" by .
After gaining Guetta's approval to write vocals for the song, Rowland took the instrumental version to London, where she wrote the bulk of the lyrics with
(Miriam and Olivia Nervo) before sending the song back to Guetta, who added his own contributions with Frédéric Riesterer. Rowland uses a vocal range of F3 to 5. Guetta said that "Kelly['s vocals] had this
vibe and nailed it." Critics agreed, noting that often her vocals were "powerful" and "grand". Others called them "a diva masterclass" and "emotionally charged". Fraser McAlpine from
compared Rowland's vocals to those by
in "", for their "hands-in-the-air pop song" qualities.
The song received critical acclaim from music critics for both Guetta's catchy production and Rowland's strong vocals. It was called the strongest and most commercial single choice from Guetta's album, One Love. Critics noted that the song's opening piano riff was similar to that from 's hit single "" (2002). David Jefferes of
gave the song a thumbs up saying, calling "When Love Takes Over" one of the strongest songs from One Love and praising the "[addition of] the powerful voice of Kelly Rowland for one grand, uplifting floor-filler." Simon Vozick-Levinson of
agreed calling the song the "most memorable from the album" and recalling "Clocks" by Coldplay to make "a showstopper starring Kelly Rowland." Michael Hibbard of
was impressed with both the production and vocal work on "When Love Takes Over". He pointed out the rarity in the amount of promotion given to the song, referring to "When Love Takes Over" being given "its own poster on the ." He also described the song as a "euphoric masterpiece" backed by "at least eight remixes " and the accompany vocals from "Destiny's Child songbird Kelly Rowland on hand for a diva masterclass." Also agreeing with these comments was Fraser McAlpine from BBC Online who awarded the song four out of five stars. "The genius ingredients include a thinly reworked go at the piano riff to 'Clocks' by Coldplay and handclaps ... And the fairy dust is...well...it's your standard dance-pop production, actually." However he noted that the production was "tastefully done to make sure that the good bits are not spoilt". Other elements of the song such as the "bed of synthistrings, a skippy beat, a breakdown, some riffing glassy electronics and a dramatic, cinematic bottom end drone" were praised. McAlpine also praised Rowland's appearance on the track, commenting who she sounded "entirely unlike herself, so that even SHE is all buffed up and shiny." He described the marriage of Rowland's vocals and Guetta's production by stating that "[Rowland's] got a spiralling, sky-scraping melody to sing too."
Erin Martin of
said that "When Love Takes Over" had euphoric properties. Martin said the song was "a classic, triumphant dance number, and Rowland's powerhouse vocals ensure that this song has anthemic potential for years to come. This song just feels good to listen to". She also noted that the song was central to the concept and "love-spreading message [that] Guetta delivers on the album as a whole." David Balls of
agreed with the song's anthem credentials. "[It] is further evidence that Rowland may no longer be resigned to living in
[Knowles'] shadow. Fusing classic dance beats with a heady, emotionally charged vocal, it's a world away from the mid-tempo R&B numbers with which she started her solo career. In fact, this packs a punch from the very first listen, meaning it could well become one of the summer anthems of 2009." However, Mikael Wood of the
was less impressed than the other critics, simply noting the song as "a cheesy synthpop makeover of Coldplay's 'Clocks'." Wood did however state that it was among Guetta's best work and was an example of when the DJ is "most commercial".
The song was nominated for the
award at the
ceremony. It lost out to "" by . The song's Electro Extended Remix was successful at the ceremony, winning Guetta his first Grammy Award for the . In 2013, Billboard named "When Love Takes Over" their number one dance-pop collaboration of all time.

Venice Beach and the Boardwalk, as seen in the music video for "When Love Takes Over"
The music video was filmed on 19 May 2009 at , Los Angeles, directed by . Guetta revealed that the video's story and concept were designed to mimic the story behind the song's creation. He said, "you see Kelly doing her thing and then me on the other side doing mine. Eventually we come together just like how we recorded the song. It's all about sharing the love from this record and making a big party". These reflections and more behind the scenes footage were revealed in the video clip "Making of When Love Takes Over" which was uploaded to Guetta's official YouTube channel on 1 June 2009.

described the video as "lots of shots of people having fun in the sun". Melinda Newman from Hitfix praised Rowland's role in the clip saying that
"[Rowland] is fierce throughout and it clearly experiencing a bit of a career resurgence after a dip. [She] gives her best -type stares straight into the camera (but we're sure that's just a coincidence)... Guetta, who is relegated to a supporting role in his own video, shows up pushing his gear on a cart, looking basically like any other homeless guy hanging out in Venice."
Some criticism did follow the video. Capital FM radio station felt that Guetta's appearance in the clip was slightly disappointing. "Guetta looks a bit like a binman pushing his gear round the streets in some of the earlier shots in the video". Newman said that the video's director, , had removed something from the song. "The video could have built on the great beat that builds within the song and the feeling of abandon that falling in love can bring you, but, instead, we get a telegenic couple making out who seem to drop in from nowhere."
