"Leash Called Love" is a song written and recorded by Icelandic alternative rock band the Sugarcubes. It was released in October 1992 by One Little Indian and Elektra Records as the fourth and last single from their third and final studio album, Stick Around for Joy (1992). The track dealt with the subject of a woman's vow to break free from the emotional and physical abuse from her lover, hence the song's title. The song would also be the group's final single release before their break up in 1993.
The song found success on the US Billboard Dance/Club Play chart, where it was restructured into a house music setting by Tony Humphries for the compilation It's-It, eventually becoming the act's first and only number-one single on that chart, and cemented lead singer Björk's new found success in the dance and electronic music community.[1]
