U2 put "Love Comes Tumbling" on Wide Awake in America, the four-track EP Island released on 20 May 1985, which set live takes of two songs from The Unforgettable Fire beside a pair of B-sides from the same period that until then had been sold only in the UK. Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. wrote it together and produced it themselves, with Kevin Moloney and Paul Thomas engineering and Moloney sharing the mix with the band.
The EP was meant only for North America and Japan, but British fans bought enough imports to put it on the UK chart anyway, and it finally got an international release in 1990.
