"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a song by English rock band Joy Division, released on June 27, 1980 as a non-album single. Its lyrics were inspired by lead singer Ian Curtis 's marital problems and struggles with epilepsy . [ 7 ]
Joy Division's second and final album, Closer, was released two months later; it and the single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" became their highest-charting releases. Between July and October 1980, the remaining members, with the addition of keyboardist and guitarist Gillian Gilbert , regrouped under the name New Order .
