"'Love's Unkind'" is a 1977 song written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, with lyrics and vocals by Donna Summer. It was recorded for the Donna Summer album, 'I Remember Yesterday', which combined modern disco beats with sounds of previous decades. "Love's Unkind" was released as a single in Europe in November 1977, reaching number three in the UK, and number 32 in the Netherlands. Though never released as a single in the USA, it topped the dance chart as part of the 'I Remember Yesterday' album, as at that time entire albums could count as one entry on that particular chart. The lyrics are of high school crushes and love triangles.
