ABOUT THE RECORD
Love Is a Battlefield, by Pat Benatar, is from Benatar's live album Live from Earth, though the song itself was a studio recording. The song was ranked at No. 30 in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 1980s. Love is a Battlefield went on to sell over a million records. Holly Knight and Mike Chapman wrote this song for Pat Benatar initially as a ballad with a beautiful melody and moving chord changes. After some exploration with drum machines and the band, Neil Giraldo decided to make this an uptempo song. The single was Benatar's second American million seller and is tied with We Belong as her highest charting single in the United States. It topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1983. It hit No. 1 on the Australian singles chart in February 1984 and remained there for five weeks, becoming the 11th biggest selling single of the year. The song was featured in the television series Psych. In the TV series Drop Dead Diva the song is performed by the actresses Brooke Elliott and Faith Prince. It was also featured in the film 13 Going on 30, where "love is a battlefield" is the mantra of the main character Jenna Rink, played by Jennifer Garner. In 1984, the song won Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
