}} "Why Do You Love Me" is a 2005 song written, performed and produced by alternative rock band Garbage and was released worldwide as the lead single to promote their fourth studio album ''Bleed Like Me''. The single was the first taste of the band's change in direction, eschewing the electronic-leaning production of their previous album for guitar-led rock. The song became a surprise hit when it was released. In the United States, "Why Do You Love Me" gave Garbage its first showing on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in six years, since "Special" reached No. 52 in May 1999; and the band's fifth Modern Rock top ten, and first since "I Think I'm Paranoid" spent the month of September 1998 at #6. Across the Atlantic, the song was Garbage's first UK Singles Chart top ten since "When I Grow Up" peaked at No. 9 in January 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tony Christie holds in pole position on UK charts )〕 "Why Do You Love Me" propelled the ''Bleed Like Me'' album to the top five in Australia, United Kingdom and in the United States, where the album debuted at a career-high #4.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bleed Like Me Makes Top Ten Debut's Around the World )〕 In 2007, "Why Do You Love Me" was remastered and included on Garbage's greatest hits album ''Absolute Garbage''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=New Best Of Album )〕 == Song profile == "Why Do You Love Me" was written and recorded at the band's own Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin. Garbage had quietly disbanded during the sessions for ''Bleed Like Me'' in October 2003, before reforming to make a fresh start on the album early the next year. Drummer Butch Vig found himself confused over which direction to take the band's sound, before deciding to strip back to the basics of electric guitar, bass guitar and drums, using more first takes from vocalist and lyricist Shirley Manson's vocals, and reducing the synth components.〔 Preferring to oversee the recording of drum tracks from the studio control booth, Vig approached Matt Walker to perform drums on some of the album; Walker's provided these for "Why Do You Love Me". Similarly, bass was performed by session musician Justin Meldal-Johnsen. "Why Do You Love Me" was mastered by Emily Lazar and Sarah Register at The Lodge in New York. Garbage's record company were keen to release "Why Do You Love Me" as the lead single for ''Bleed Like Me''; the band agreed. Manson: "We chose "Why Do You Love Me" as the first single because it has a lot of mood shifts and embodies the whole record. I feel that at the base of everyone there's a belief that we're truly lovable. But we often question it, which is why we seek out exclusive relationships." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Why Do You Love Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
