Why Do You Love Me

"Why Do You Love Me" is a 2005 song written, performed and produced by alternative rock band Garbage and was released worldwide as the lead single to promote their fourth studio album Bleed Like Me. The single was the first taste of the band's change in direction, eschewing the electronic-leaning production of their previous album for guitar-led rock.

The song became a surprise hit when it was released. In the United States, "Why Do You Love Me" gave Garbage its first showing on the Billboard Hot 100 in six years, since "Special" reached No. 52 in May 1999; and the band's fifth Modern Rock top ten, and first since "I Think I'm Paranoid" spent the month of September 1998 at #6. Across the Atlantic, the song was Garbage's first UK Singles Chart top ten since "When I Grow Up" peaked at No. 9 in January 1999. "Why Do You Love Me" propelled the Bleed Like Me album to the top five in Australia, United Kingdom and in the United States, where the album debuted at a career-high #4.

Content

"Love, Me" is a ballad in the key of C major, accompanied by electric piano and steel-string acoustic guitar. It tells of a couple who promise to love each other. The song's narrator tells of being with his grandfather, and reading a note that was written by his grandmother back when both grandparents were younger. The grandfather explains that he had intended to meet her at a certain tree: "If you get there before I do, don't give up on me / I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be / But I'm not gonna let you down, darling, wait and see / And between now and then, 'til I see you again, I'll be loving you / Love, me." In the second verse, the narrator and his grandfather are at a church where they stopped to pray just before the grandmother died, and the grandfather reads the note and begins to cry, that is the first time that he saw his grandfather crying.

Love Me (Tracie Spencer song)

"Love Me" is the fifth and final single from Tracie Spencer's second album, Make the Difference. The single was released on February 4, 1992. It was written by Fil Brown and Tony Robinson. Like "Tender Kisses," "Love Me" is a ballad. The theme of the song focuses on Spencer asking someone to love her.

Chart information

"Love Me" followed up Spencer's number-one success of "Tender Kisses" on the R&B chart by peaking at number two on the chart. On the Billboard Hot 100, the single performed moderately, hitting number 48.

Music video

The video version of the song is slightly different from the album version. The love interest in the video was played by Ray Leonard Jr., son of boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. It features some of the same couples from the "Tender Kisses" video and is interestingly enough filmed in the same way as "Tender Kisses" as far as appearance and the general look of sadness. One scene focuses on a man, unconscious, who has a door on his chest indicating the door to his heart. A woman standing over him has a window on her chest and reaches into the window to retrieve and flower and places it into the doorway on the man's chest.

Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)
