Wikipedia article
"'Paying the Price of Love'" is the first single from the Bee Gees' 20th studio album, 'Size Isn't Everything' (1993). The song reached the top 10 in Belgium and Portugal and the top 40 in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it charted on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, reaching number 74, and peaked within the top 30 on the 'Billboard' Adult Contemporary chart. The promotional video for the song shows the brothers performing the song as holograms on a futuristic version of MTV.
Critical reception
Alan Jones from 'Music Week' gave the song three out of five. He wrote, "Potently re-emerging at what seems like more regular intervals than Halley's Comet|Haley's '[sic]' Comet, the Bee Gees should be launched into another chart orbit by this, their first single for Polydor since the early Seventies. The brothers' sense of strong melodic material is still intact, as is Barry's falsetto. Keith Cohen's sparse house/jack remix should put this on the dancefloor and, with radio already taking the bait, a substantial hit is not out of the question."
