"When the Love is Good" is a song by the American female pop group Big Trouble. It was released as the second and final single from the band's debut and only album Big Trouble, where it was the opening track.
Following on from the minor success in America and the UK with the band's single "Crazy World" in 1987, which had peaked at #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the group's third and final single "When the Love is Good" would be the second to be taken from their debut album.
Released in 1988, the single failed to chart in America, although it did find minor success in the UK, where it peaked at #83 and lasted in the Top 100 for three weeks during April 1988. It entered at #83 on its first week. In the UK, the "Crazy World" single would be the follow-up to "When the Love is Good" as its original release failed to make an impact in 1987.
The single was released in America, the UK and the Netherlands via Epic Records, and distributed by CBS Records. It was released on 7" vinyl, and additionally as a 12" vinyl maxi single in the UK and the Netherlands.
In all countries of release, the 7" vinyl featured the non-album, exclusive track "Last Kiss" as the b-side. The song was written by Moroder and Whitlock like the b-side, and was produced solely by Moroder. The song has not appeared elsewhere on any other release. In America a promotional 7" vinyl was also issued, featuring "When the Love is Good" on both sides of the vinyl.
The 12" vinyl released in the UK featured "Lipstick" and "Last Kiss" as the b-sides. "When the Love is Good" was not extended. "Lipstick" was taken from the Big Trouble album and was written by David Darling and Reeves, whilst being produced by Moroder and Reeves.
The Netherlands 12" vinyl issue featured the same track-listing and duration as the 7" vinyl release.
All releases, including the American promotional vinyl, featured artwork. In America the artwork compiled four separate photographs of all four members of the band, whilst the UK and Netherlands releases featured a group photograph of the band in front of a blue backdrop.
