Released three years after the 2016 album Anarchytecture, “What You Do for Love” is a song written by the lead singer of the band, Skin, in order to cope with her huge disappointment about the hypocrisy of some people, who justify their evil behaviour by indicating love as the main cause of it.

[Verse 1]
Try and step into my life
Step into a life
Where you hold nothing but your fire
Try to sooth a face, my face
Unfazed by wicked shame
No shoulders ache from blame
Just incandescent rage
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm looking for the fight
Desperation bites
Suckered by no fantasy
[Chorus]
It's what you do for love
No, I don't understand
What you do for love
No, I can't understand
What you do for love
[Verse 2]
Try and see another side

With callouses like hide
Resistance detonates inside
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're looking for the fight
Waking up dead minds
Suckered by reality
[Chorus]
It's what you do for love
No, I don't understand
What you do for love
No, I can't understand
What you do for love
No, I can't understand
What you do for love
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
It's what you do for love
And I can't understand
What you do for love
No, I can't understand
What you do for love
No, I don't understand
What you do for love
No, I can't understand
What you do for love
