"Another Sad Love Song" is the second single released from Toni Braxton's eponymous debut album. After the success of "Love Shoulda Brought You Home, Braxton followed up with this R&B mid-tempo single. The song proved to be a success giving Braxton her first U.S. Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit (#7), her first Adult Contemporary chart hit (#8), and narrowly missed the top of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart by peaking at #2. It also peaked at #15 on the UK Singles Chart.

The music video was released in two different versions. The first version was filmed in black and white and featured the original music. The second version was filmed in color and was remixed to appeal to a wider audience. Both versions were successful and stayed in heavy rotation during the summer of 1993.

"Another Sad Love Song" garnered Braxton her first Grammy Award, for "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance" in 1994.
