"'''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 has performed the song at a number of acoustic live performances. There is no music video yet.

==Background==
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>

==Critical Reception==
Dayalan Kulendran from Soulculture gave a review of the song:

<blockquote>
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>

  • From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
    • There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
    • For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
    • For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.
