== Music and lyrics ==
"Love Feels Like Grenades feat. GirlSpice" is an uptempo new wave electronica song, which contains special drums and real heartbeat effects.The intro begins softly with a heart-beat (the heartbeat is Stephanie Fierce actual heart-beat), the heartbeat pace then increases until you hear grenade blow up. (the sound is actually caused by a special drum from Africa) During the verse, the beat of the drums is mixed in the heartbeat on some parts. The explosive sounds are more noticable when they are meant to be punned. There are many collisions in the song especially in the GirlSpice parts. The song has a bridge. On the radio version there is an Outro at the end where the GirlSpice girls say goodbye, and a bomb explodes and the ambulance is heard.
Stephanie Fierce- Love Feels Like Grenades feat. GirlSpice (Lyrics)
:"There is a way, to maintain a healthy heart
:There is a way, to prevent a heated war to start
:But damn it, there’s Cupid
:He is hiding, (he’s so stupid )
:Setting ammunition , (On a mission)
:To make us fall in love......
:There is something in his hands
:and he thinks I don't know that 'he’s a bad man,
:with the heart of Venada city
:and I'm a sinner,
:just a sinner, with a heart of the pity
:I'm not ready to battle cause....
:Love Feels like Grenades
:it blows in the air, the smoke chokes you up until you're dead.
:(Love feels like Grenades)
:Little heart shaped grenades can blow you to shreds.
:You just won’t believe it, oh no
:(Love Feels like Grenades)
:So explosive you just won’t believe it, oh no
:There’s must be a way
:to turn it off (x3)
:gotta cut the right vein.
:(It’s worth to feel the pain)
:cuz, Love Feels Like Grenades
:There’s an arrow on my chest
:Wasn’t ready for this yet 
:(Spoken) 
:Are you ready.......
:Boom Boom (da da da da) x4
:Imma suicide, suicide this love away (is the only way)
:suicide this love away
:goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..."

"I like this song because it’s different. The first time I listened to it, I found the lyrics a little dark, and a little weird but the sound effects throughout were so interesting, and different. I love how Stephanie used her heartbeat to add to the track and how it mixes so well with the drums and the single sounds so dynamic. Every time I listen to this I pick up on something a little different that I hadn’t noticed before and it is actually very catchy! I love the electronic sound and I think Stephanie has found her place in the industry.The more I listen to it, I also begin to realise just how clever the lyrics really are, which is often so rare with pop music, sorry to say it!!
This song has the potential to be something special and, I’m sure, with Stephanie Fierce’s fan base combining with GirlSpice’s, it will be a hit for sure!".

“Love Feels Like Grenades” is a what we like to call a sloppy way to sound brilliant. The songs structure is not different from hardly any pop song she has put out but it does have its rare moments and the beat is very catchy. Stephanie Fierce’s vocals are not the best but she is improving if you compare her vocals to “Toy Soldier” which has a similar song structure to this one. The song’s lyrics range from mediocre to “ok”. Whether the song does or does not promote “cutting your veins” or “suicide” because of love, I’m pretty sure there is more to these lyrics (which can be a good thing). One thing that is ironic in the radio version of the song is that all the GirlSpice girls take their turns to say goodbye at the end as relevant to them ending their group (though we find that moaning the words “goodbye” sounds kind of raunchy). But I guess that’s what you can expect from a Stephanie Fierce song. It is strong enough to be a classic but of course the public must decide that."

"Stephanie Fierce ft. GirlSpice in "Love Feels Like Grenades" shows that love is a game of two halves - the masculine and the feminine, the violent and the harmonious, the hiding and the fighting. This is an epic step up from Ms. Fierce, the words to the song are excellent, and we look forward to hearing more."
