==Background==
"'''Casualty Of Love'''" is a song by British recording artist [[Jessie J]]. It was released on 25 January 2011 in the United Kingdom as the third single from Jessie J's upcoming debut studio album, ''[[Who You Are (Jessie J album)|Who You Are]]''. "Casualty Of Love" was written by Jessie J, Farrah Fleurimond, Martin Kleveland, Natalie Walke and it was produced by Martin K. It serves as the album's second single in the United States.
[[Jessie J]] stated she was proud of the song, but preferred the other [[promotional single]], "Who You Are". She stated that the meaning of the lyrics in "Casualty of Love" is about finding your inner strength.<ref name="Idolator">{{cite web|url=http://idolator.com/5774472/jessie-j-is-no-casualty-of-love-in-her-new-single |title=Jessie J Is No "Casualty of Love" In Her New Single |publisher=[[Idolator (website)|Idolator]] |date=20 February 2011}}</ref>


The song goes toward an [[Alicia Keys]] type genre and received mostly positive reviews of critics. It was planned to be released as an official single, but the plans changed. Jessie J performed the song live in many locations, along with her other non-single hits such as "Abracadabra" and "Big White Room". The song was released to the USA [[iTunes Store]] in February 2011 and due to its promotional status, after the release of [[Who You Are (Jessie J album)|Who You Are]] the price was lowered to $0.99<ref name=itunes>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/casualty-of-love-single/id419722904 |title="iTunes Preview > Casualty of Love > Single". |publisher=[[iTunes]] |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref> however, in the Canadian store, UK store and many other stores, it had the price of a regular song.<ref name="itunes" /> Some complaints had been filed but were mostly ignored.
Jessie J has performed the song at a number of acoustic live performances. There is no music video yet.


==Background==
==Composition==
"Casualty of Love" is a slow song with a sing-along chorus and [[piano]] playing in the background. The song resembles something [[Alicia Keys]] might sing. It has soft [[Pop music|pop]] to it and a slight bit of love music similarities. As the song is very calm, it carries its message well. The song has a 6/4 time signature.
Rap-Up.Com has reported that the single will be released in the US via iTunes on February 15th ahead of the release of album on April 12th there.<ref>http://unrealityshout.com/blogs/confirmed-jessie-js-next-single-casualty-of-love</ref>

I’ll admit that, like most of you, I’ve seen and heard enough of Jessie J in the last two months to last me a lifetime. So much so then when I came across this, her next US single, I almost ignored it.
Thankfully I didn’t, because “Casualty of Love” is a warm R&B number as good as anything that has leaked thus far and a perhaps a better indication of her ability as a songwriter than the two singles that have been ubiquitous on radio in 2011. I love that vinyl crackle in the intro.
<p>
Her debut album Who You Are is out a week on Monday in the UK and looks set to cement her rapid rise from industry secret to pop phenomenon. The truth is that despite Jessie’s (arguable) overexposure in the early months of 2011, she is a colossal talent, and the album is loaded with great songs that reflect her powerhouse vocals and ability as a songwriter.
If anything, ‘though they were massive hits (and great choices for singles) neither “Price Tag” nor “Do It Like A Dude” really indicate what she’s working with. We don’t know the direction she’ll go in when she does follow up on this early success but personally, I’m hoping she continues making tracks like this one.<ref>http://www.soulculture.co.uk/blogs/music-blog/newmusic/jessie-j-casualty-of-love-new-music/</ref>
