Co-written by David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody, the song was inspired by the break up of Coverdale’s first marriage. In Firecracker magazine, Coverdale said:
“You can look at my first marriage and see “Fool For Your Loving” and “Don’t Break My Heart Again.” A lot of those were fueled by songs about a relationship that once was very positive but sadly was unfolding into not positive.”
It has also been rumored that the song was originally written for blues legend B. B. King.[1]
The song was the first big hit of Whitesnake’s, reaching #13 on the British charts[2] and #53 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
This remains one of Whitesnake’s most popular and well-known songs. David Coverdale has stated that he prefers the original to the 1989-version.
A music video was also made, which features the band performing the song live on stage.
