"Love Hurts" is the third Europe single from Incubus' sixth album, Light Grenades, and is the fourth U.S. single ("Oil And Water" was released as the third single in the U.S.). The song received moderate airplay in European countries. The single was released for airplay in the United States over a year after the previous single, "Oil and Water", and nearly two years following the album's release. It became a surprise hit for the band in the U.S., topping the BillboardModern Rock Tracks chart, becoming their fourth song to do so. It was officially released on October 7, 2008.
There is an acoustic version of "Love Hurts" available for those who buy the "Anna Molly" single, or those who bought the Best BuyLight Grenades three-track promo.
In a 2007 interview with Incubus, Brandon Boyd expressed his thoughts on the song:[1]
It's almost a little bit of a cliché. It is talking about the idea of love and finding love and having it be pure and not tainted by our misperceptions, misconceptions, expectations and transcending the sort of more worldly aspects of the love experience.
