"Love Rears Its Ugly Head" is a single released by Living Colour in 1990 from their second album Time's Up.
It is in the style of most of the group's previous singles, a rock song with touches of R&B, especially in the vocals. It is most noted for its funk-style guitar parts that permeate throughout the entire song. It takes a sample from the song Lush Life by Nat King Cole. The music video features Cynthia Bailey of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame.[citation needed]
The track peaked at number 8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States and, in a heavily remixed form with re-recorded vocals and less of a rock influence, became the band's biggest hit single in the UK, peaking at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
