Song of the Day: Pat Benatar, “Love Is A Battlefield”

Song of the Day 1 Minute

A song by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman, this song appeared on Pat Benatar’s 1983 album Live From Earth, although it was a studio track. It had originally been "written as a ballad with a beautiful melody and beautiful chord changes," but producer Neil Giraldo decided to make it an uptempo song. The track spent four weeks at #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #5 on the Hot 100.
