"Love Walks In" is a power ballad by American rock band Van Halen released as the third single from the band's seventh studio album, 5150 (1986). It was the first song the band wrote with vocalist Sammy Hagar. It peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, and reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Background To quote Hagar:
Hagar wrote the lyrics on the spot and sang it live with a hand-held mic.
Billboard called it a "tricky little tune" that goes "from hard-rock swagger to a graceful chorus hook."
