"Not Enough Love in the World" is a soft rock song written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Benmont Tench. The lyrics describe a rocky relationship, with the singer proclaiming he's still in love. It is rumored that it was about Henley's relationship with Stevie Nicks (whom fellow Eagle Joe Walsh later dated), but their relationship only lasted a year.

Song information

Henley included the song on his 1984 album Building the Perfect Beast. It was released as a single in 1985 and hit #34 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video was directed by Timothy Hutton.

The melody of the song was use as the base of the song "Por Ti, Por Mi" by mexican singer Irán Castillo.

Critical reception

Cash Box said that "this mid-tempo and 'beat-heavy rocker is a perfect vehicle for the ex-Eagle's unique vocals"{{cite magazine|title=Single Releases|magazine=Cash Box|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1985/CB-1985-05-25.pdf|date=May 25, 1985|accessdate=2022-07-26|page=11}}
