Before You Love Me
Encyclopedia
"Before You Love Me" is a song by Alsou
, her first single released from her first album, Alsou
. It was released on April 30, 2001 in Australia
and the United Kingdom
, and a few weeks later in May, 2001 in various countries throughout Europe
.
The single failed to chart in Australia
. It also enjoyed mild success in the United Kingdom
where it peaked at number twenty seven.
Much to the dismay of fans, a lack of promotional support from Alsou's record company meant that no further releases occurred in either Australia
or the United Kingdom
, with the impending release of the Alsou
album cancelled in both regions. The single was, however, effective in producing the hype in needed throughout Europe
for the album to be released and proper promotion to take place.
