"'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 'Billboard' Modern 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 Buy 'Light Grenades' three-track promo.
