About This Track

Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano share lead vocal duties on "This Could Be Love," a track where the lyrics suggest the singer is listing reasons why he's unworthy of affection. The chorus takes a dark turn, with the singer desiring the object of his affection to kill him. Matt Allison, Jerry Finn, and Alkaline Trio share production credits.

Why It Works for Running

The song's full-throttle energy, sustained at 170 BPM, can help to distract from the discomfort of a VO2 max workout, keeping your perceived exertion lower as you push to expand your maximal oxygen uptake.
