Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield (SUPERSCALED TO 4K) 🇺🇸

"Love Is a Battlefield" is a song by American singer Pat Benatar, recorded and released on September 12, 1983, as a single from Benatar's live album Live from Earth (1983), though the song itself was a studio recording. It was written by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman. The song was ranked at number 30 in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 1980s. "Love Is a Battlefield" went on to sell over a million copies. The Bob Giraldi-directed music video features Benatar playing a rebellious teenage girl running away from her home (although Benatar was actually 30 at the time). The video was choreographed by Michael Peters, who appears briefly in the video. The video was one of the first ever to feature the use of spoken dialogue. The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. Knight and Chapman wrote this song for Benatar initially as a mid tempo song. After some exploration with drum machines and the band, producer Neil Giraldo decided to make it an uptempo song. The single was Benatar's second US million-seller and is tied with "We Belong" as her highest-charting single in the United States. It topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks and peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1983. The single was unlike most of Benatar's previous work, as it featured an electronic dance element, but guitars and drums were still present. In 1984, the song won Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
