The song "What About Love" was originally recorded by the Canadian rock band Toronto in 1982, written by Sheron Alton, Brian Allen, and Jim Vallance. However, it gained widespread fame when it was later recorded and released by the American rock band Heart in 1985 as the first single from their self- titled album, Heart.
Heart's version of "What About Love" featured lead vocals by Ann Wilson, with Nancy Wilson on lead guitar and background vocals, and additional background vocals by Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas. The song marked a shift in Heart's musical style toward a polished power ballad sound and became a major hit, reaching the top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Additionally, there is a different song titled "What About Love" by American singer Austin Mahone, released in 2013 as the lead single from his EP The Secret. This is a separate song from the one by Heart/Toronto.
