"Love Guaranteed" is a song by British R&B group Damage, released on 10 March 1997 by Big Life as the fourth single from the band's debut album, Forever (1997). The song peaked at No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart and was the band's second single to have been produced by Cutfather & Joe, which was remixed for its release as a single. The music video features the band performing the song wearing suits, against a backdrop which could possibly represent a wedding reception or party. Actor Sir Christopher Lee stars in the music video guiding the band through different settings in time.

Critical reception

[edit]

Gavin Reeve from Smash Hits gave "Love Guaranteed" four out of five, commenting, "Smooth. Cooooool. Yes indeed, Damage are a band with the 'oo' factor. The band that wooed thousands while supporting Boyzone will go a slippin' and a slidin' up the charts with this classy performance. Vocals that nibble your neck and soothe your troubled 'soul', lyrics that promise that whatever you need, Damage can give it to you..."[2]
