"Love II Love" is a song by British boy band Damage, released as the second single from their 1997 debut album, Forever. It is widely regarded[by whom?] as the band's breakthrough single, having peaked at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 82 in the United States, where it is their only charting single. The song also appeared on the singles charts of Australia, Germany, and New Zealand.
Music video
The music video shows the band being strung up by a woman with alien-like characteristics, and being controlled like puppets. Many believe this was the inspiration for 'N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" music video, released four years later in 2000.[citation needed]
