Song information

The song premiered on MySpace and was released via iTunes on June 30, 2009. The single was sent to mainstream radio in the United States on July 7, 2009.[2]

Reception

"Love Drunk" gained mixed reviews on its release. Some critics enjoyed the track, including About.com's Top 40 Reviews, which claimed the song had "glorious" elements.[3] However, many critics and fans alike criticized the song's "unmistakeable" similarity to The Killers' single "Somebody Told Me", which features a chorus similar to the chorus from "Love Drunk".

Music video

The music video began shooting on June 29, 2009, and features actress and singer Ashley Tisdale. "Ashley was awesome -- she played the lead girl," Martin Johnson says. "We did this faux arcade set-up with the band as [carnival] guys. She makes all the guys in the arcade fall for her and then it has a surprise ending."[4]

The music video was set for an August 3 release date on MTV, but was available to watch on YouTube and other video streaming sites prior to that date. It was directed by Travis Kopach.
