Love to Hate You is a song by Erasure which was released in 1991 as the second single from the duos fifth studio album Chorus. The single was released by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S. The song, written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell is an electronic dance track clearly inspired by disco music. The synthesizer melody in the chorus of Love to Hate You is an interpolation of the string break from the Gloria Gaynor disco-era classic I Will Survive[clarification needed]. The songs music video features Erasure performing the song on a futuristic stage with a long, connected runway which extends out into the audience. As Bell dances down the runway, it is revealed that the floor is covered in water - these shots were filmed in Londons Leadenhall Market. Vince Clarke is also seen playing a circular keyboard similar to one previously used by Jean Michel Jarre. The band also recorded a Spanish version of the song, called Amor y Odio (Love and Hatred), and one in Italian called Amo Odiarti. Love to Hate You is one of Erasures most successful singles on the UK singles chart, peaking at number four. It became a Top 20 hit in Germany where it reached number 19, and in Sweden where it reached number 4. In the US it reached number 17 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, number 10 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales and number 6 on the Modern Rock Tracks.
