"Love's Unkind" is a 1977 song written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, with lyrics and vocals by Donna Summer. It was recorded for the Donna Summer album, I Remember Yesterday, which combined modern disco beats with sounds of previous decades. "Love's Unkind" was released as a single in Europe in November 1977, reaching number three in the UK,[2] and number 32 in the Netherlands. It entered the Irish charts on the 5th January 1978,where it stayed for six weeks, peaking at number two. Though never released as a single in the USA, it topped the dance chart as part of the I Remember Yesterday album, as at that time entire albums could count as one entry on that particular chart. The lyrics are of high school crushes and love triangles.
