“Love Is the Drug” is a 1975 single from Roxy Music. A number two hit in the United Kingdom, it also gave the group its first substantial exposure in the United States, reaching number 30 in early 1976 on the U.S. pop singles chart and doing even better on progressive rock radio.
The song started as an Andy Mackay instrumental, but then gained lyrics from Bryan Ferry; Ferry said the song came to him while he was walking and kicking the leaves in Hyde Park.
“Love Is the Drug” is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. It remains Roxy Music’s highest-charting single in the U.S., while in the UK it was only topped by their 1981 version of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy”.
