[http://incubusportugal.blogspot.com/] The song has received moderate airplay in European countries so far. The single has been released for airplay in the United States almost about a year after the previous single, "Oil and Water". It will officially be released in the first week of October 2008.

Meaning

In a recent interview with Incubus, Brandon Boyd expressed his thoughts on the song. [http://www.revu.nl/4625]

Brandon Boyd's thoughts about "Love Hurts":

"It's almost a little bit of a cliché. It is talking about the idea of love and find love and having it be purity and having it not be tainted by your misperceptions, misconceptions, expectations and transcending the sort of more worldly aspects of the love experience."
