Composition and lyrics


The song begins with a progressive chorus guitar riff played, and the song soon becomes heavier occasionally. Drummer Vinnie Paul has said that this song was about a relationship vocalist Phil Anselmo had been in previously. "This Love was pretty much the story of a relationship he had been in, and he was really mad about it!".


Reception


"This Love" is one of the band's most well-known songs.

Metal Hammer ranked the song number 10 on their list of the 50 best Pantera songs, writing that it "starts in pretty, elegant mode before erupting into a mad-eyed bar brawl of a chorus."[1]

Loudwire ranked "This Love" number seven on their list of the 10 best Pantera songs.[2]

Guitar World ranked the song number five on their ranking of the 25 best Pantera songs.[3]


Music video


The music video for "This Love" was directed by Kevin Kerslake and shows the band playing on a rooftop while smoke drifts over them. The chorus shows the band inside, playing on a stage, cutting between this and the rooftop. Phil Anselmo can be seen wearing a Down T-shirt. In a subplot, prostitution is shown with several prostitutes are doing random activities (such as seducing a man and another taking off a wig). This culminates when a particular prostitute gets into a cab which is occupied by another man, who tries to rape her. From the last moments of the video, it appears that she kills him, because she is seen dragging him from the cab and leaving him by the roadside.
