"When You Love a Woman" was the first single from Journey's 1996 album Trial by Fire.

The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart, where it remained for four weeks in December 1996.[1] It hit #12 on the U.S. Hot 100 and #57 on the Top Hot 100 Hits of 1997, as well as being a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, reaching #9. It is Journey's highest charting adult contemporary single.

"When You Love a Woman" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group.[1]

[edit] Video

The music video features the band playing in what appears to be an empty recording studio. The video, directed by Wayne Isham,[2] was shot inside the (film) Scoring Stage at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, CA.[citation needed] This was one of the last performances with Steve Perry as vocalist. In the video, Neal Schon plays a white guitar briefly produced for him by Jackson, known as Schon Guitars (which he also used prototypes of on the Raised on Radio Tour) instead of his usual Gibson Les Paul electric guitar.
