Love Drunk is the second studio album by the American pop rock band Boys Like Girls, released on September 8, 2009, by Columbia Records. The album was recorded in New York City and Vancouver because there are "two different producers/production teams, two different environments, and two different styles of inspiration" stated by the band's frontman Martin Johnson. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200, making it the biggest hit for the band. Its lead single, the title track was released on July 7, 2009, shortly followed by "She's Got a Boyfriend Now", "Two Is Better Than One" featuring Taylor Swift, and "Heart Heart Heartbreak". This is the last album to feature bassist Bryan Donahue before his departure in 2011.

Production

"Love Drunk", "Two Is Better Than One", "Contagious", and "The First One" were recorded at Van Howes Studios in Vancouver, Canada, with producer Brian Howes and engineer Jay "JVP" Van Poederooyen. Poederooyen digitally edited the songs, with assistance from Bryan "Tatoo" Coisne; Misha Rajaratnam did additional editing. "Heart Heart Heartbreak", "She's Got a Boyfriend Now", "Real Thing", "The Shot Heard 'Round the World", "Chemicals Collide", and "Go" were recorded at Fresh Kills Music in New York City, with producers S*A*M and Sluggo; Johnson co-produced the songs. Sean Gould engineered the tracks, with assistance from Grant Michaels.

Mark Caffrey did drum and bass engineering at Monster Island Recording Studios, also in New York City. Mark Maxwell did additional production on "Heart Heart Heartbreak", "She's Got a Boyfriend Now", "Real Thing", "The Shot Heard 'Round the World", and "Chemicals Collide".
