"Love Is the Law" is the debut single of Britpop band the Seahorses, released as the first single from their only studio album, Do It Yourself (1997). Written by ex-Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, the song contains a lengthy guitar solo at the end that was edited out for a single release. The cover artwork features a painting by Squire, also called Love Is the Law, that he created in 1996.
"Love Is the Law" is the Seahorses' biggest hit, debuting and peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart in May 1997. The song also reached number 11 in Ireland and number 38 in Sweden. Outside Europe, "Love Is the Law" received airplay on North American radio, and its music video aired on MTV and VH1.[1] This exposure allowed the song to reach number three on the Canadian RPMAlternative 30 chart.
