Halestorm singer [[Lzzy Hale]] tweeted on [[June 23]], [[2011]] that she had just written a song with Cuomo.<ref>@LZZYHALE "Me and @RiversCuomo we just wrote the most beautiful song! &#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#121;&#102;&#114;&#111;&#103;.com/h47ffscsj" ''Twitter'' 23 June 2011. https://twitter.com/LZZYHALE/status/84049949666451456</ref> Halestorm released a video of themselves performing "Sweet Love" acoustically on [[July 28]], [[2014]].

While Halestorm has never officially released "Sweet Love", the band has performed it live multiple times, and released a video on YouTube, of themselves performing the song acoustically, on [[July 28]], [[2014]], to commemorate the band receiving 1 million likes on Facebook.
+Demo recordings by Cuomo were included on the digital compilation ''[[Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years]]'' in [[2020]]. One version initially included in the bundle but removed a few days later features lead vocals from an unidentified singer (most like Hale) with the filename "<samp>Sweet Love for Kelly C.mp3</samp>". It is possible, though unconfirmed, that the song was offered to singer [[Wikipedia:Kelly Clarkson|Kelly Clarkson]].

+<poem>
+After rocking with my boys
+After shaking all the hands
+I'll be talking to the press
+Signing people's chests
+And hanging with the fans
+After washing up my face
+After lettin' down my hair
+I'll be taking off my heels
+Putting on my Chucks
+And waiting for you there
+'Cause I want the sweet love
+To get me through
+I want, I want sweet love
+And I know that you're wanting it too
+So give me the sweet love
+To get me by
+I want, I want sweet love
+Every night until I die
+It's nice to have a special friend
+Someone that I can call my own
+Someone to keep me on the ground
+When the world is spinning 'round
+And to remind of my home
+You're a scary-looking guy
+Quick to jump into a fight
+But when I have a bad day
+You know just what to say
+I'm so glad that you're mine
+'Cause I want the sweet love
+To get me through
+I want, I want sweet love
+And I know that you're wanting it too
+So give me the sweet love
+To get me by
+I want, I want sweet love
+Every night until I die
+Until I die
+'Til I die
+'Til I die
+Give me the sweet love
+To get me through
+I want, I want sweet love

+So give me the sweet love
+To get me by
+I want, I want sweet love
+Every night until I die
+'Til I die
+Give me the sweet love
