It was co-written by Joe Belmaati, Michaela Breen, Vince Clarke, Mich Hansen, Alison Moyet, John Reid, Remee and Ina Wroldsen. The song was produced by Belmaati in collaboration with Cutfather.

It was accompanied by a B-side entitled "What Am I Gonna Do?", written and produced by Duck Blackwell and Paddy Dalton. The Saturdays collaborated with Ina Wroldsen on a number of songs; eight were chosen for the album. "If This Is Love" was then released as the first single from it. The song has prominent electropop and dance-pop genre characteristics. It contains lyrical influences from love-hate relationships, the definition of love and its complications that can result in situations of stalking.

You came to me, baby 
And I though that I saw love in your eyes 
But all the promises you made were not to be 
I should have seen through your disguise 

Oh no baby you know you always tried 
Make me look the fool, what's goin' on 
You used to be so good to me now what is wrong 

Tell me why you want to hurt me 
Is this the way that love has got to be 
Now baby I can't take it 
If this is love then love's not meant for me 

What has happened to you lately 
I don't sense that lovin', feelin' anymore 
Every time you bring me down I want to cry 
Do you want to see me walkin' out that door 

Tell me why you want to hurt me 
Is this the way that love has got to be 
Now baby I can't take it 
If this is love then love's not meant for me 

Oh no baby you know you're always trying 
To make me look the fool 
Won't you tell me why you hurt me 
Is this the love has got to be 
No baby, I can't take it 
If this is love then love's not meant for me 

Tell me why you want to hurt me 
Is this the way that love has got to be 
Now baby I can't take it 
If this is love then love's not meant for me
