Background

"Love Don't Come Easy" is a classic pop/rock song and was a natural progression from the bands hit single Wait. The song was released when grunge started to become popular. Still, it reached No. 24 on Mainstream Rock charts and along with the next single "Broken Heart 91" which was a re recording of the bands debut single, was the bands last major single release.[4]

The music video opens with shot of a man, played by Craig Clawson, walking into an empty theater, he starts watching clips of a woman jumping into a pool and eventually jumps into the screen to join her.

Compilations

The song along with the rest of the bands singles was featured on all of the bands major compilations including White Lion's 2020 compilation album, "'All You Need Is Rock 'N' Roll - The Complete Albums 1985-1991'".[5]
