Love Will Show Us How

The instrumental basis of "Love Will Show Us How" emerged from a demo tape recorded by McVie and her ex-husband John McVie with piano and bass. Todd Sharp, who co-wrote "Love Will Show Us How" with McVie, recalled that it was originally conceived as a soft acoustic song. "That one really birthed itself and I think surprised us both when it became the song that it did." McVie and Sharp spent some time refining the riff and supplemented the song with lyrics the following day. ==Music video==

Joe Bergman of Warner Records contacted Teri Schwartz about producing a music video for McVie with a concept of "everything go[ing] wrong". Allan Arkush served as the director of the music video along with Schwartz, who were both part of Robert Abel and Associates and had previously shot the music video for Bette Midler cover version of "Beast of Burden". "Love Will Show Us How" was the third music video made by Robert Abel and the Associates. Arkush worked with Schwartz to develop a music video with the intention of appealing to both regular MTV viewers and older fans of pop music. McVie agreed to the concept of creating a "wacky way-out video" for "Love Will Show Us How", which according to Schwartz, demonstrated the "kind of humor she has". It begins with Le Grande explaining his premise for the music video's storyboard to McVie, who questions the merits of Le Grande's ideas. As described by Clint Goldman, some "soap opera organ music" plays as Le Grande says "Christine...trust me", which then segues into "Love Will Show Us How". ==Critical reception==

In March 1984, one month before "Love Will Show Us How" was released as a single, Don Shewey of Rolling Stone called the song "Beatlesque" and identified it as having the potential to become a future single. Cash Box said that the song "is a thoroughly upbeat tune with a stiff tempo and smooth backup harmonies" and that "the one-of-a-kind McVie vocal is like smoke and satin." Billboard described McVie's vocals as "warm", which sounded "right at home" in the song's "punchy rock setting". John Swenson of Creem thought that "Love Will Show Us How" was "harder edged and simpler than a Fleetwood Mac song." == Personnel ==
