"Love Is Blindness" serves as the final track on U2's 1991 album Achtung Baby. Bono composed the song on piano during sessions for the 1988 album Rattle and Hum, with the band initially considering offering it to Nina Simone before ultimately including it on their own record. The Edge's personal separation during Achtung Baby's recording significantly influenced the song's development, particularly the final guitar solo, which proved emotionally cathartic for him.
