"Down on Love" is the fifth and final single taken from the album Agent Provocateur by the band Foreigner, and released as a single only in the U.S. in September 1985.

The song was written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones, and the B-side, "Growing Up the Hard Way", was itself released as an A-side single in Europe.

Allmusic critic Bret Adams later praised the song's "pleasant chorus" and "warm keyboard melody."[1] It reached #54 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2]
