Overview
"Sweet Love" is a reworking of the 1998 Rivers Cuomo demo "Cheap Love." Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale tweeted on June 23, 2011 that she had just written a song with Cuomo.[1] Halestorm released a video of themselves performing "Sweet Love" acoustically on July 28, 2014. On November 27, 2020, days after the release of Alone VI, Cuomo confirmed via Riverchat that the demo "Cheap Love" was later given to Halestorm, whereupon it was reworked as "Sweet Love". 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 "Sweet Love for Kelly C.mp3". It is possible, though unconfirmed, that the song was offered to singer Kelly Clarkson.
