01 This Love

"This Love" is a dance-rock song written by Toby Gad and then-unknown pop singer Kesha, produced by Gad for The Veronicas second album Hook Me Up (2007). It was released as the album's third single in Australia as a digital download on 30 March 2008 and CD single 14 April 2008. Its lyrics describe a long distance relationship, and how they won't give up on the relationship and love while they're apart from each other. The song became a top ten hit in Australia and top twenty hit in New Zealand, peaking at number ten and fourteen respectively. Allmusic calls This Love "an utterly charming dance-rock confection that, in its last minute, abruptly unleashes a euphoric synthesizer countermelody whose nod to a-ha's "Take on Me" is unmissable."The song is synth based with an 808 based drum beat.
