American country rock singer Juice Newton released her rendition of "Cheap Love" on her seventh studio album Old Flame. By 1985, Newton's stardom as a country pop singer had waned and Old Flame, took her in an emphatically country music direction with great success as its first two singles, "You Make Me Want to Make You Mine" and "Hurt", both reached of which topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. After a third single release, "Old Flame", reached number five on the same chart, RCA Records elected to release "Cheap Love" as a fourth single from the album in August 1986. The single peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

"Cheap Love" was later covered by Marty Stuart, under the name "Sweet Love", for his ninth studio album Honky Tonkin's What I Do Best (1996). Stuart's version was released as the final single from the album in August 1997.
