If IT Isn't Love - Overview

Overview

Written and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the song spoke of a man who left a troubling relationship because he didn't want to fall in love, only to find out that he was in fact in love with his former girlfriend but is still in a dilemma over it: if it isn't love/why do I feel this way/why does she stay on my mind? The song has a memorable breakdown similar to that of the The Jackson 5, where lead singer Ralph Tresvant admits that he made a mistake and he realizes he does love her though his resolve is crushed as his band mates then retort: You love her, what?! Though he is optimistic that he will get her back.
