Tough Love is the fourth studio album by Australian rock band, Magic Dirt.

The album was promoted with a national tour, appearances on multiple TV and radio shows, as well as playing supports for acts including The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Swervedriver, The Beasts of Bourbon, Powderfinger and Jet.

Adalita Srsen said "Tough Love was so regimented and there was a lot of discipline... We talked about every single thing, we worked really hard in the studio, we had tuning problems, I had difficulties singing.

It all sounds great in the end but there was so much trial by fire and so much discipline which we'd never really encountered before; never put ourselves through before.

Dean Turner added "We found out it was a shit way to write music.
