"Only Love Can Save Me Now" comes from Death by Rock and Roll, the Pretty Reckless' fourth album, and it went out as the record's third single on June 22, 2021, with two members of Soundgarden, Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron, on board. The link went back to the road: the band had been the support act on Soundgarden's last tour, the one before Chris Cornell died, and Taylor Momsen stayed close to both men.
Momsen wrote it with Ben Phillips, decided it was right up Soundgarden's alley, and sent the demo to Thayil and Cameron to see if they wanted in. They did, and it was cut at London Bridge Studio in Seattle, where Ten and Louder Than Love were made; Momsen called the experience surreal. She, Phillips and Jonathan Wyman produced, and in September 2021 it topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
