Sweet Fire of Love

"Sweet Fire of Love" is a song written and performed by Robbie Robertson and U2. It was included as the fourth track on his debut solo studio album, Robbie Robertson (1987). The song began with a guitar riff and a tom-tom pattern from a tape owned by Robertson, which he later presented to members of U2 at their recording studio in Ireland. They subsequently developed a demo around these ideas and collectively crafted some lyrics to supplement it. After its inclusion on Robertson's debut solo album, "Sweet Fire of Love" received airplay on album oriented rock stations in the United States and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.
