Witchcraft (Book of Love song)

"Witchcraft" is a song by the American synth-pop band Book of Love, released in 1988 as the second single from their second studio album, Lullaby. The song is a mid-tempo track characterized by its driving electronic percussion, synthesized instrumentation, and Susan Ottaviano's distinctive vocals.

Lyrically, "Witchcraft" explores themes of love, obsession, and perhaps unhealthy romantic attachment. The lyrics employ metaphorical imagery and suggestive language to evoke a sense of enchanting or bewitching attraction, implying the subject of the song has an almost magical hold on the narrator. The chorus repeatedly uses the term "witchcraft" to describe this powerful, irresistible allure.

While not a major commercial hit, "Witchcraft" has become a fan favorite and is considered one of Book of Love's signature songs. It helped to solidify their reputation for sophisticated, lyrically interesting synth-pop during the late 1980s. The song is often included on new wave and synth-pop compilations and continues to be appreciated for its unique sound and lyrical content.
