"Wasting Love" is the third single from the Iron Maiden album "Fear of the Dark", released in 1992. This song represents Iron Maiden's first and only power ballad released as a single to date. Ironically, it is one of their least known singles.

The single was only officially released in The Netherlands, although two different one-track promotional CDs exist, and were sent to U.S. radio stations. "Wasting Love" was the first Iron Maiden single that was not released on vinyl.

The B-side features three live tracks recorded at London's Wembley Arena on December 17 1990, on the tour to support the "No Prayer for the Dying" album.

The single cover is the third Iron Maiden single not to feature the band's iconic mascot Eddie on the front cover (the previous examples being "Running Free (live)" and "From Here to Eternity"). The cover photo alludes to the music video, which portrays a man tattooing the names of women all over his body.
