The yacht rock classic was created during sessions for the band's How Dare You!, their fourth album, which was released that same year but didn't include the track. "The Things We Do For Love" was released as a single and later included in their fifth studio album, Deceptive Bends.
“I remember walking through the rain and the snow when I lived in Manchester and we didn’t have a telephone. I had to go and find a phone box to ring the girl who was about to become my wife. The phones were down, and it was snowing, and these, these vivid pictures are there. If you put them in a song, a lot of people identify with a similar situation," he said, according to SongFacts.
When it came to Goldey and Creme's response to the track, they weren't fans of the direction the band was going in, according to Louder Sound. Stewart recalls what they said after having played the track for them.
Godley and Creme would later leave the band in 1977 after the release of Deceptive Minds. "The Things We Do for Love" was praised by critics as a well-crafted tune and landed at No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also landed at No. 12 on the Adult Contemporary chart and No. 4 on Cash Box. Decades later, it was covered by Amy Grant for the film Mr. Wrong.
