"Lessons in Love" is a song written by Sy Soloway and Shirley Wolfe and was first recorded by American teenage singer Jeri Lynne Fraser and released as a single in May 1961.^[2] The song has had chart success with covers by Cliff Richard and the Shadows and the Allisons.

Despite Cliff Richard and the Shadows recording their version first and releasing it first on the soundtrack album The Young Ones, it was British duo the Allisons who released their version first as a single in January 1962. It was arranged by and features an accompaniment directed by Johnny Keating.^[3] Speaking about the single before its release, John Allison said, "This is a different kind of number for us. It has more of a beat and is more the kind of thing we really like doing. It is the type of number that comes naturally to us and I feel confident that it will give us a big chance of hitting a high spot in the charts".^[1] However, despite being released it January, it didn't enter the UK Singles Chart until the second week of February, peaking at number 30 four weeks later and becoming the Allisons' final hit.^[4]

Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "Lessons in Love" as "a good light beater of the type they can handle cleverly" and that it was "catchy and crisp". The B-side "Oh, My Love", written by Allison, was described as having "a rather more edgy noise" and a "simple song, but produced it an infection manner that can only help the upper half".^[5]
