"Love-Hate-Sex-Pain" was the second single from The Oracle, the fifth studio album by American rock band Godsmack, and fans got it early: on April 6, ahead of the album, it went up on iTunes as the first song from the record anyone could download, and it reached American radio on July 12, 2010.

It began as a piece Shannon Larkin and Tony had put together many years before, and Larkin never pictured it landing on a Godsmack record. Then Sully wrote words and a melody over it, which Larkin likened to watching a child grow up. He names it among his favorites on The Oracle, partly for that history and partly because he hears a different sound for the band in it.
