Background

"Is This Love" was written by keyboard player Jim Peterik and guitarist Frankie Sullivan. Peterik has explained "Is This Love" as follows: "That's another song that I wrote out of experience. 'We run those mean streets, blind alleys where the currency of love changes hands, all touch, no feeling, just another one night stand,' we've all felt that. I felt that when I was dating and on the road and empty relationships that you knew weren't going to go anywhere. What is love? It's a guy questioning that."[4]^{[better source needed]}

In January 1987, "Is This Love" peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their fifth and last top 10 hit.[5]
