Lyrically, the song is the sequel to Blondie's "Heart of Glass", according to Harry. The song was released on May 9, 1987 and was, to date, her only solo single to reach #1 on the US dance chart. The single also went on to become a minor hit in several countries, including number forty-five in the UK and number seventy in the US. "In Love With Love" remains Harry's most recent Billboard Hot 100 hit to date.
The song was the second single released off Rockbird in the US, but it was the third single released off the album in the UK. The music video features Harry dancing in front of various cultural backdrops in a couple different outfits throughout the clip.
The UK single version of "In Love With Love," was remixed and produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman production team, who at the time were producing many popular singles in both the UK and the US by artists such as Bananarama, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. As a result, Geffen Records issued a second 12" of the song in the US including these UK mixes, labelling them "London Mixes".
In 1988 both the US "Heart Of Fire Mix" of "In Love With Love" and the French language version of "French Kissin' In The USA" were included on the Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach. The Stock Aitken Waterman version of "In Love With Love" appears in its edited 7" form on Chrysalis Records/EMI's 1999 compilation Most of All - The Best of Deborah Harry.
