The structure of the song is complex. The main body (the verse) is in the unusual and infrequently used 7/4 time signature with two measures of 7/4, one of 8/4, then back to 7/4 with the intro background vocals repeatedly singing "Love, love, love", over the top of which enter Lennon's lyrics:

“ There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy ”

By contrast, the chorus is simple: "All you need is love", in 4/4 time repeated against the horn response but, each chorus has only seven measures as opposed to the usual eight, and the seventh is 6/4, then back to the verse in 7/4.

Lennon had experimented with mixed time signatures. The song "We Can Work It Out" from 1965 has a 16 measure bridge composed by Lennon in which he juxtaposes 4 measures each of 4/4 and 3/4.

"All You Need Is Love" remains one of only two songs (along with Pink Floyd's "Money" from 1973) written in 7/4 time to reach the top 20 in the United States.

The track was remixed by George Martin and his son, Giles Martin, for the Beatles' soundtrack for the Cirque du Soleil show Love. The main differences are a more central sound to the song's introductory vocals and strings (rather than the left/right stereo split of the original) and a number of overdubs for the ending, closing with vocals from "Baby You're a Rich Man", "Rain", and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" the guitar riff from "Ticket To Ride" in a different key leading into the outro from "Good Night".

In the film Yellow Submarine (1968), the second verse as well as the instrumental are deleted. Also, the last choruses are switched, the "all together now", and "everybody" coming first before the last group of choruses.

Ingeniuty is borne of an individual's unique intuition... it's a one-off.

...and, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
