Word Is Love

Apart from others record companies, the single was released on the producer's own label Silk Entertainment in several editions. However, the composition written by Hurley himself along with M-Doc didn't catch much attention in USA. In the overseas, it scored a modest success on the UK Top 75, where the single peaked at number twenty-six in March 1998.^[1]
