"Love Is the Price" is a song by Swiss artist DJ BoBo, released in January 1996 by various labels as a single from his remix-album, Just for You (1995). The song was written by Morrison Long and Steven Levis, produced by DJ BoBo, and features vocals by singer Natascha Wright.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media praised the song as "great" and "mellow", and compared it to the work of American rapper LL Cool J. The reviewer added, "Female vocals take over the chorus to add a little extra variety. A great EHR candidate, but mellow enough for ACE [Adult Contemporary Europe] too."[1]
