"Pleasure and Pain" is a song written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight, produced by Chapman for Divinyls' second studio album What a Life!

Junkee said, "Literally any Divinyls song ever recorded could have been called "Pleasure & Pain".

Chrissy Amphlett’s titanic voice was all about pushing prettiness until it became punishing.

"Pleasure & Pain" is a leather boot, pinned directly into your chest.

"[2] In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, "Pleasure and Pain" was ranked number 43.
