In 1986 the 7' single was released in Poland by Tonpress in different sleeve under license from Factory and sold over 20000 copies. In November 1988, it made one more Top 40 appearance in New Zealand, peaking at #39. 'Love' was re-released in 1983 and reached number 19 on the UK charts and re-appeared at #3 in New Zealand during March 1984. The band postponed their US tour after his death, performed a few short sets as The No-Names, then finally renamed the group as New Order. Later that summer, 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' peaked at #42 on the American disco/dance charts. It also debuted at #1 in New Zealand in June 1981. The song was first released in April 1980 and, after Curtis's suicide that May, became the band's first chart hit, reaching number 13 in the UK. Deborah Curtis had the phrase 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' inscribed on Ian Curtis's memorial stone.

The lyrics ostensibly reflect the problems in Ian Curtis's marriage to Deborah Curtis, as well as his general frame of mind in the time leading up to his suicide in May 1980. The title is an ironic reference to ' Love Will Keep Us Together'.

It is one of the few songs in which singer Ian Curtis played guitar (albeit somewhat minimally). It was written in August and September 1979, and debuted when the band supported Buzzcocks on their UK tour in September and October 1979. ' Love Will Tear Us Apart' is a song by the British post-punk band Joy Division.
