According to some of the liner notes in the booklet to their 2003 greatest hits CD, this song was written when Carrack and Schmit were supposedly going to make a band during the late eighties or early nineties. Carrack wrote that song for the planned group but it was never done. So Schmit used the song for the Eagles' reunion album. Although the song was never formally released as a single and did not reach the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in the US, it did spend three weeks at #1 on the "Billboard" adult contemporary chart in early 1995. [Hyatt, Wesley (1999). "The Billboard Book of #1 Adult Contemporary Hits" (Billboard Publications)] In the United Kingdom, "Love Will Keep Us Alive" peaked at #52 on the UK Singles Chart.

Aside from being on the album "Hell Freezes Over", the song can be found on their box set, "Selected Works 1972-1999" and on the 2003 compilation album, "The Very Best of Eagles".
