"Streets of Love" was released as a double A-side single with "Rough Justice" from The Rolling Stones' 2005 album A Bigger Bang. It was released on August 22, 2005 (see 2005 in music).
"Streets of Love," a gaudy power ballad with a spare, guitar-based arrangement and an abrasive falsetto chorus, received the main marketing push, though it failed to become a major hit in the U.S.. By contrast, it went to number one in Spain, Top 10 in Argentina, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Canada and Top 20 in Norway, Germany, the UK, Greece and Italy.
"Streets of Love" is one of the few Rolling Stones songs licensed for use in advertising (See "Start Me Up"). It is heard in a television commercial for mobile telephony provider Vodafone Italy, in which the company's spokes-model Megan Gale also appears. The video for this song was shot at Zaphod Beeblebrox, a nightclub in Ottawa, Canada. It was debuted live on July 11th 2006 in San Siro, Italy, just outside of Milan.
