Which song from Paloma Faith's third studio album "A Perfect Contradiction" was written by Diane Warren?

The song from Paloma Faith’s third studio album A Perfect Contradiction written by Diane Warren is “Only Love Can Hurt Like This.”

The song was released in 2014 as the second single from the album. Although Faith is known as a co-writer on many of her songs, “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” was written entirely by Diane Warren, one of the most prolific songwriters in popular music. Warren has written major hits for artists including Cher, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Toni Braxton, and Aerosmith.

Faith initially hesitated to record a song on which she had no writing credit, but she later connected strongly with its emotional subject matter. The recording combines a dramatic soul-ballad style with brass, strings, backing vocals, and a vintage pop influence.

The single reached number six in the United Kingdom, becoming Faith’s highest-charting solo single there at the time. It later reached number one in Australia and experienced a major revival on TikTok in 2022, introducing the song to a new generation of listeners.
