Production on the album version was overseen by Bill Padley and Jem Godfrey. The single version of "Love Doesn't Have to Hurt" varies from the album version, as the vocals of Natasha Hamilton, Liz McClarnon and Jenny Frost were re-recorded to give the song a more powerful vocal range, and the music had been remastered to give the acoustic-framed mid-tempo ballad a smoother finish. Martin Harrington and Ash Howes are credited as additional producers on this version.
