"Woke Up in Love" is a song written by J.P. Pennington, and recorded by American country music group Exile.
[1] Exile had been performing since the mid-1960s, both as a touring and recording act.
After adopting a pop-rock style in the early 1970s, the group reached the peak of its success in 1978 with the song "Kiss You All Over"; that song spent four weeks at No.
In the early 1980s, with Les Taylor replacing the departed Jimmy Stokley as lead singer, Exile began a transition to country music, with elements of strong Southern rock flavor.
[2] In 1983, the newly revamped group released its first country chart single, "High Cost Of Leaving," which reached No.
