"Wasted Love" is a song recorded by Greek-Swedish DJ and music producer

Dougy, best known as the lead singer of the Australian indie rock band, The Temper Trap
.

"Wasted Love" was released as the album's lead single on 22 July 2014. As of May 2016, the song has gained over 11 million streams on Spotify.

Critical reception

The song received positive reviews with Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 praising it, calling it a "monstrous sounding record" when he premiered it as "hottest record in the world"[1] on 14 July 2014; and Chris Erickson of Daily Beat referring to the song as "a fantastic track" and "a great way to reintroduce the world to Steve Angello as a solo artist." In a review Meggie Morris of Renowned for Sound wrote, Morris gave the song four out of five stars saying, "Wasted Love steps away from the droning, repetitive sounds characteristic of current dance music, and creates a space in which tangible song-writing can occur." She ultimately concluded that, "Angello has created a dance song that feels more alive."[2]

Music video

Two videos were produced for the song, one of which, being the official music video, and the other being the lyric video.

The official music video, directed by Lance Drake, features an iconic cameo from

Dougy
. In the video, we step into a vast "desert landscape meets art installation" world where we watch a video game of life being played. Moving from level to level, each obstacle represents birth, struggle, love, and death, until the game is over.

The lyric video was directed by Robin Asselmeyer, and produced by Filip Kiisk and Marcus Nybladh. Shot in Angello's home country Sweden, the lyric video shows images of fans in the crowd at Angello's live shows.

Both of the videos were released on

VEVO
account on 12 November 2015.
