Tough Love is the second studio album by British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware. It was released on 13 October 2014 in the United Kingdom and 24 October 2014 in the United States.
Well-received, the album was widely praised for its sophisticated blend of pop and R&B, showcasing Ware's vocals, songwriting, and emotional depth, though some critics found it less stimulating or overly mainstream. Commercially, Tough Love peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales over 100,000 units. Internationally, it reached number six in Poland, where it was later certified double platinum, and entered the top 20 in Ireland.
Tough Love was supported by four singles, including the tile track, which became Ware's first UK top 40 hit at number 34, and follow-up "Say You Love Me," which became her biggest hit, peaking at number 22. In further promotion of the album, Ware embarked on the Tough Love World Tour, her third concert tour, from September to October 2014.
