“If the foundation is there, you can do all kinds of stuff to it, and the song is still going to be great. “A great song can be done in a million different ways, in different tempos,” says Warren. In February 2022, Faith released a slowed-down version of “Only Love Can Hurt Like This,” which continues to soar on TikTok and streaming platforms alongside the original. Faith also sings “Blessings,” off Warren’s 2021 release Diane Warren: The Cave Sessions Vol. Working together again, Warren wrote for Faith two more times since “Only Love Can Hurt Like This,” on the single “Leave While I’m Not Looking” and “The Crazy Ones,” featured in the 2015 comedy romantic comedy Miss You Already. I wish they would rerelease it here and break her here with it.” “Then I realized it’s this giant TikTok hit. Only when Warren heard that Kelly Clarkson performed it during her Kellyoke segment on her TV show did she realize the magnitude of the song. “I was like, ‘how does Kelly Clarkson know this song,’” laughs Warren. She makes the revelation in her BBC Two documentary Paloma Faith: As I Am, which airs at 9pm this Saturday, saying she felt concern from record label bosses. I think the emotion of the song is still timeless, even just saying ‘only love can hurt like this.’ I mean, who hasn’t been hurt by love?” When we made that record, it had this girl group feel to it yet it was modern. Warren adds, “The song just sounds like a classic. “She said ‘I’m booking my flight to LA,’” says Warren. Playing the song for Faith on the phone, Warren remembers Faith hanging up on her and immediately emailing her back. I love singers with pain in their voice.” I thought we’d do something similar with this interview. It reminded me of when I was a kid in the ’80s, like a Choose Your Own Adventure-thing.

This song could change your life,’” remembers Warren. Thankfully, Warren persisted and continued pushing the song on Faith. “She called and said ‘I’ve written a song for you,” and I said I really don’t sing songs written by other people.’ Then she said ‘What if it’s a fucking hit?” “She called me up, and she’s got this amazing personality,” shares Faith. Grateful for taking the call from Warren, Faith remembers her first conversation with the songwriter. To date, the original and 2022 releases of a slowed-down version of “Only Love Can Hurt Like This,” combined, have reached nearly 300 million streams on Spotify, 105 million views on YouTube, and half a million TikTok creations, and climbing.
