"A Victory of Love" comes from Forever Young, the debut album Alphaville released on 27 September 1984, though it wasn't among the four singles sent out to carry the record. Marian Gold wrote the words and shares the music credit with Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens; Gold sings lead, Lloyd and Mertens play keyboards, and Lloyd runs the drum machine.
Wolfgang Loos is the studio brain here: he produced it with Colin Pearson, recorded and mixed it, arranged it with the band and added keyboards of his own, with Curt Cress brought in for extra drums. The German synth-pop band was making the album in the wake of a surprise, since "Big in Japan" had come out before recording was done and its success caught both Alphaville and their label off guard.
