"Into the Heart of Love" comes off Laughter, the Mighty Lemon Drops' third album, released on Chrysalis/Sire in 1989, and it was one of the record's two hit US modern rock singles, alongside "Where Do We Go from Heaven". The album title was a statement of intent. Tired of being filed as a doom-and-gloom band, they went looking for more light, and guitarist David Newton, now the main songwriter after bassist Tony Linehan quit early in the sessions, made no secret of how sick he was of being measured against Echo and the Bunnymen.
Mark Wallis produced and engineered the track, with Richard Evans assisting, and Ian Devaney and Andy Morris bring in brass, a brighter coat of paint for a band set on shaking off the shadows.
