"This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)" is the third track on Ellie Goulding's debut album Lights. Ellie said to Spinner UK: "I'm quite questioning, I suppose, but then I answer the questions as well. In one song [This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)] I say 'Who are we to be emotional, who are we to play with hearts and throw everything away?' so I'm questioning human behaviour, asking why we act the way we do when we're in love and infatuated with someone, but later in the song I offer some answers too.
