What About Love
The story behind the song
"What About Love" speaks to the ache of unacknowledged feelings, where one person has been "lonely" and the other "hiding, never letting it show." It captures that moment of realizing something "ain't right" in a relationship, a direct plea to confront the absence of love. Heart recorded this track for their self-titled 1985 album, a song originally written by Sheron Alton, Brian Allen, and Jim Vallance. It plays like a powerful call for honesty and connection when emotional distance has set in.
