The song has also been included in the US reissue of Derulo's third studio album Tattoos, and will most likely see a promotional release in the US as one of the albums next singles.[3]

Music video

The music video for "Stupid Love" was directed by Gil Green and produced by Judd Allison,[8] with filming taking place on December 20, 2013 in Jason’s hometown of Miami, Florida. The music video made its worldwide premiere online through Derulo's official YouTube channel on February 4, 2014. The video depicts Derulo and his wife moving into their new house together. After painting and decorating the empty home, the couple find themselves cuddling and getting into the hot tub together. We then discover that the Derulo dancing around the house is in fact a ghost, after a simple robbery had gone wrong as Derulo and his wife had arrived home earlier than the thieves expected, Derulo was shot twice in the heart while trying to protect his wife and dies at the scene. The video ends with his wife visiting their empty house one last time only to leave with his guitar.[4][9]

Derulo has performed the song for the first time live during his Tattoos World Tour.
