Love Don't Live Here (Bananarama song)
"Love Don't Live Here" is a song by the British female vocal trio Bananarama, released in 1986. It was written by Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward, and producers Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. The song appears on their third studio album, True Confessions, which was released the same year.
The track is known for its melancholic lyrics, exploring themes of heartbreak and the absence of love in a relationship. Musically, it is a mid-tempo synth-pop ballad, marking a slight departure from the group's earlier, more upbeat and dance-oriented sound. The instrumentation features prominent synthesizers and drum machine beats, characteristic of 1980s pop music production.
"Love Don't Live Here" was released as a single and reached the top 40 in several countries, including the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 36. The song helped to solidify Bananarama's position as a commercially successful pop act during the mid-1980s. It is considered a key track from the True Confessions album and remains a recognizable song in Bananarama's discography.
