"Only Love Can Hurt Like This" is a song by English singer Paloma Faith, written by Diane Warren.

[2] The song peaked at number six in the United Kingdom, making it Faith's highest-charting single as a solo artist in the country.

In Australia, the song was promoted through a high-profile TV advertisement for Channel 7's drama series Winners & Losers,[3] and it reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart on 26 July 2014.

The iTunes album review for A Perfect Contradiction describes the song as: "[a] towering, wall-of-sound ballad ..."[7] - a reference to the production formula developed by record producer Phil Spector.
