I was in high school when the Pat Benatar video for this song was released. That video made me love this song. Over 30 years later, and Maysa revamps this into a beautiful heartfelt jazzy ballad. This video tosses in scenes from what we have experienced and lived through the last few decades. From racism, civil rights violations, immigration, xenophobia, women's rights, to the simplicity of life and finding true love. Thank you, Maysa, for making this song live again for me.
This video represents my generation. I was born in the 1970s. A time when people were recovering and learning the true meaning of love thy neighbor as thyself. Love IS a battlefield. Some of us are still fighting the good fight. Press on my sisters and brothers in the name of LOVE.
my husband just told me that Maysa did a version of one of my favorite songs from the 80s...I didn't want to listen to it at first because this song was life for me at that time...I am a big Maysa, Incognito fan so I took a chance and listened and OMG this song with this tempo is sensational...I feel those lyrics in my body...this video is such a tribute to love...this is my song for the summer of 2017 and beyond...thanks Maysa for bringing back my fav from the 80s...Pat Benetar thanks also...
I heard this for the first time on Jan 6, 2018 on XM Satellite Jazz Radio. I love this production of this song. Maysa is so freaking talented, and underated in the industry. The video is wonderful, but make me somewhat sad.
Wow! I had my first crush around the time this song was released by Pat Benetar, I usually don't care for remakes! But this is NOT a remake, Maysa Leaks made this song AWESOME! What an absolutely fabulous talented artist!
😲🥺 ... I absolutely love this cover. Paired with the imagery--it really touches on the significance and importance of humanity having to fight through these challenging, but rewarding times. And rewarding if we choose our hearts over fear and hate... 💓
I do. The album release is today. I plan on schooling my neighbors 24/7 about the Amazing Maysa, The holiday weekend, too. They don't even know!!! But, they gone learn today!!!!
I'm a Neo Soul/Jazz/Funk/R&B girl, and LOVE this version! ❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥🎶❤️🔥 Even tho I'll ALWAYS love Pat Benetar's, this is the SHIT!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Because...hip hop, trap music, and ratchedness. I'm very disappointed in the direction Black music has been headed for years now. Deserving artists like Maysa, India Aria, Fantasia, and before them Rachelle Ferrell, Angie Stone, and a host of other women who got overshadowed by the garbage that is out now, have been pushed in the background and their beautiful strong voices have not been given the same push as some of the fad-like music that is being forced on us now. You have to search long and hard to find gems like Maysa's Love is a Battlefield album.
I've always LOVED this song when I was a kid. I even bought the 45 and played it all the time dancing around the living room😁😁😁 that tells yall how old I am LOL. Maysa has done a phenomenal job remaking this song! I absolutely love it it!!!! It sounds better than the Remake Pat Benatar the originator of the song did with Queen Latifah. I hate that remake it was WACK!!!
She could have remade this in a million ways--loud, long, high, low. But she didn't. She kept it crazy smooth and I love it. I played this over two dozen times (almost as much as I played the original). Great Job. Bless you for this!!!
Forgive me for repeating other comments, but "wow" doesn't even come close to this remake. Absolutely beautiful. I usually HATE remakes but this is fantastic. Definitely going in a play list. Thank you for sharing this work of art :)
I have always loved MAYSA’s music, have classic music by like Good-bye Manhattan I love that song is fantastic, it ring with excitement, in the music , and her voice is something that once you’ve heard it , you want heard more of it

This song is simply beautiful. It touches deep in the depths of your heart. Play this all over the world.

I have fallen in love with this song!
I love this song. I never thought it could get any better. Maysa thank you for proving me wrong. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. MOVING. A REAL LOVE BALLAD.

This woman can definitely enhance any song she dares to sing.
I generally dislike cover songs, but Maysa has done a more than phenomenal rendition of Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield." Love it!
Wow! I had my first crush around the time this song was released by Pat Benetar, I usually don't care for remakes! But this is NOT a remake, Maysa Leaks made this song AWESOME! What an absolutely fabulous talented artist!
Exactly this Awesome
I know of NOBODY ‘MORE IMPRESSIVE’ than Maysa🙏👌🏽💜✨✨✨
😲🥺 ... I absolutely love this cover. Paired with the imagery--it really touches on the significance and importance of humanity having to fight through these challenging, but rewarding times.

....this is a nice remake of Pat Benatar's recording from the early 80's and I am not taking anything from Maysa a phenomenal artist!❤️
She wrote it - Benatar's performance was the one you were aware of.
Most beautiful version of a iconic classic.

💖💖💖💖💖 Why doesn't BET have Maysa in any category for an award? Another reason why I don't watch their jaded awards show
Because they are stupid, they are stupid and don't forget...they are stupid.
Because...hip hop, trap music, and ratchedness. I'm very disappointed in the direction Black music has been headed for years now.
