"Fight for This Love" is the debut solo single by English singer Cheryl Cole, recorded for her debut studio album, 3 Words (2009). It was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland as the lead single on 30 October 2009 by Fascination Records and in 2010 in some European countries as the album's second single through Universal Music. It was written and produced by Wayne Wilkins and Steve Kipner with an additional writing from Andre Merrit. She spoke of an instant connection to the message of the song as well as the noticeable synthy production. The up-tempo pop, dance-pop and R&B song revolves around a lyrical content of not giving up on the partner; it was promoted around most of the world at a time when Cole's marriage to footballer Ashley Cole was breaking down.
