"For Lovers"
Song

"For Lovers" is the debut single by Peter Wolfe and Pete Doherty. The song was written by Wolfe just after his divorce in the late 90s and recorded in 2003 to give Doherty a hit and himself a way into the music industry.[1] The single reached No. 7 in the UK singles chart. Rumours that the pair received relatively little money, having already sold the publishing rights for a small amount in a pub[2] are unfounded as in reality the rights were shared amongst the musicians who worked without pay on the recording.

In 2005 the song was nominated for a Ivor Novello Award for songwriting.[3]
