"Do You Love Me?" went out on Mute as a single in March 1994, ahead of Let Love In, and it's Nick Cave in full gothic-romantic flight, the title's question hanging over every bar like a storm cloud. Bassist Martyn P. Casey wrote the music, Cave wrote the words, and Cave also plays the organ and piano.
The rest of the Bad Seeds dig in around him: Blixa Bargeld and Mick Harvey on guitars, Thomas Wydler on drums, and a backing chorus of the band plus Rowland S. Howard and Tex Perkins. The group produced it with Tony Cohen, who also mixed it. The single came backed with "Cassiels Song" and "Sail Away", and "Loverman" followed it.
