Introduction:
“Love Hurts” is a timeless ballad that has been covered by numerous artists since its initial release in 1960. The song was written by Boudleaux Bryant, a renowned songwriter known for his contributions to country music. It was first recorded by the Everly Brothers, who achieved moderate success with it.
