General information

Written by: A. Lee and T. McCord

Your Love is an unreleased song. It was written and performed by Amy Lee at the NMPA (National Music Publishers Association) meeting in New York after she received the 2008 Songwriter Icon Award by NMPA.[1] It was also performed by Amy and Terry Balsamo at the 2009 Legends & Lyrics concert in Nashville.[2] The song is described as being about love that cannot work.[2]

Amy Lee on the song, from an interview with Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo in October 2009:

Vin1.jpg I call this song "Your Love". It is not a good synthesis of the album. But it's great. It was one of the first songs I wrote for the new album.[3] Vin2.jpg


She further talked about the song in a Rockline Radio interview on October 17, 2011:

Vin1.jpg "Your Love" was a song that Tim and I wrote together, um originally for a soundtrack that didn't work out. Um, but yeah there's no place you can buy it right now, um but hopefully in the future we'll be able to do something with it. I think it's a real cool song, right now it is just a B-side.[4] Vin2.jpg


Although Legends & Lyrics was originally intended to be aired during Fall 2009, the show and the song remain unaired and unreleased to date.[5] In July 2010, Legends & Lyrics released a thirty second clip of Your Love.[6]

In a fansite interview in September 2012, Amy said that it's up to L&L to release the song since they own the recording, adding she hoped they would just upload it to YouTube.[7]

On July 6, 2014, a live bootleg of Your Love was leaked.[8] Tim confirmed that the leaked audio is the official song on Twitter.[9]

In January 2015, Tim's wife accidentally uploaded a short video on Instagram of their daughter Maddie listening to the demo of Your Love. This version features piano, guitar, and drums. Watch here.

During a Q&A on Amy's Facebook on February 29, 2016, she was asked by a fan if the song would ever be released. This was her answer:

Vin1.jpg You know what, I gotta be honest, that song is just ok! You write a lot of songs and at the time, the most recent one is always your favorite. I had my moment with Your Love but then I wrote a couple of other songs that were similar but better and just kind of moved on! Not saying you'll never hear it but you're not missing too much.[10] Vin2.jpg
