I'm down on love An' i don't give a damn, I take my chances Whenever i can Like a lamb to the slaughter, Another sacrifice, For giving love to woman With a heart stone cold as ice I'm down on love An' i'm clean out of pain, I ain't no stranger To the crying game Too scared to suffer, An' too blind to see, But, i played with fire An' i got what was coming to me Now, one more heartache Don't bother me, Just one more lonely night To drown in misery I am a victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, i never thought I'd be a victim of love Victim of love, victim of love, Lord, i never thought I'd be a victim of love I'm down on love An' i feel like a fool To beg for mercy 'cos i broke the rules So do me no favours With your cool advice, I know the losing cost, An' i'll pay the price One more heartache Don't bother me One more lonely night To drown in misery I am a victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, i never thought I'd be a victim of love Victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, i never thought I'd be a victim of love One more heartache Don't bother me One more lonely night To drown in misery Victim of love, A victim of love, Lord, i never thought I'd be a victim of love...

“Is This Love” foi escrita pelo vocalista David Coverdale e pelo guitarrista John Sykes e, segundo rumores, teria sido originalmente planejada para a cantora Tina Turner.
O single alcançou o número 9 nas paradas do Reino Unido e o número 2 nos Estados Unidos, tornando‑se o segundo maior sucesso da banda nos EUA, atrás apenas de “Here I Go Again”.
O videoclipe da música apresenta Tawny Kitaen, futura esposa de David Coverdale, que já aparecera anteriormente no vídeo de “Here I Go Again”.
Em 1994 a faixa foi relançada em CD e cassete com os b‑sides “Sweet Lady Luck” e “Now You’re Gone”, alcançando a posição 25 no UK Singles Chart.
A canção foi incluída na lista da VH1 como a 87ª melhor música de amor e como a 10ª maior power ballad da emissora.
