For Love is the sixth track on Jill Jones's first and only Paisley Park Records album Jill Jones, and, roughly four months after the album's release, For Love was released as the album's third and final single. Although Jill Jones was credited as a co-writer, the song was written solely by Prince.

A jam version of the song was also part of the "Everybody's Jam" played at [Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA on 5 January 1986

Around the time of the For Love single release, Prince and Jill Jones recorded what could be considered a companion track, 4 Lust, for her planned second album, but the album was never finished and the track remains unreleased.
