About The Song
Today, we’re revisiting another of their chart-toppers – Love Is No Crime. Released in 1987 as the title track for their third studio album, the song captured the carefree spirit of the decade. It wasn’t just the music, though. Love Is No Crime spoke to a generation yearning for connection and freedom, a sentiment that resonates even today.
Imagine yourselves back in the era of legwarmers and Rubik’s Cubes. The airwaves were dominated by synthesizers and drum machines, creating a soundscape that was both futuristic and strangely familiar. Bad Boys Blue took full advantage of this trend, crafting a melody in Love Is No Crime that was instantly memorable. The opening synth riff is pure 80s magic, setting the stage for a song that’s both danceable and surprisingly sophisticated.
But Love Is No Crime is more than just a catchy tune. The lyrics, delivered in English with a charming European accent, tell a story of forbidden love. The singer finds himself drawn to someone deemed “off limits” by society’s rules. Yet, he argues, Love Is No Crime. This defiance against societal norms resonated with young listeners who felt like they didn’t quite fit the mold. The song became an anthem for those who dared to love outside the lines.
Whether you were a teenager grooving to the beat in the 80s or simply enjoy a good dose of nostalgic pop, Love Is No Crime is a song that will transport you back to a simpler time. So put on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let the irresistible rhythm of Bad Boys Blue wash over you. After all, as the song itself declares, Love Is No Crime.
