Mika opens his third studio album with its title track, which he penned with Nick Littlemore from Empire of the Sun and the Brighton-based musician Paul Steel. This was the first tune that Mika wrote for the set following difficulties in his personal life, including his sister having a life-threatening accident. He told Digital Spy: "I booked a ticket to Montreal, found a hotel on the way out of the airport, had two shots of whiskey and wrote the first good song I'd written in over two years - the title track of my new album the Origin Of Love

Often, The Origin of Love ends up reaffirming why most dance hits don't have the kind of clever, intricate lyrics that are Mika's specialty, and at times it feels like the sounds surrounding his words and melodies are competing with them instead of supporting them.

Features Song Lyrics for Mika's The Origin Of Love album. Make You Happy - Cherokee Remix Lyrics. 2. Origin Of Love - Italian Version Lyrics. 3. Overrated (Acoustic Version) Lyrics. 4. Overrated - Acoustic Version Lyrics.
