"Wasted Love" is the debut single by American pop singer and The Voice Season 7 runner up Matt McAndrew. The song was written by Sterling Fox, Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, Shimon Moore of the hard rock band Sick Puppies, and Mike Fiorentino. This would be McAndrew's first single released on a major label.

The single debuted at number 14 on the Billboard's Hot 100 with opening sales of 209,000 units sold. This is the highest mark ever achieved by a The Voice recording artist to date.

The song was originally written in Toronto, Ontario in October 2014. After hearing the song the week before The Voice Season 7 finale, Matt and his coach Adam Levine decided it would be a great song for him to sing. The song was produced in New York several days before the finale by Sterling Fox, with additional production by Andrew Horowitz and Koby Hass.

Season 7 of The Voice was the first time the show had all four contestants debut singles prior to the inaugural season of the show and Season 5 which Tessanne Chin debut Tumbling Down written by Ryan Tedder.

Immediately after its release, the song shot to #1 on the US iTunes singles chart.
