Clarkson had been pressing for other singles choices from the album, but following the poor performance of "Low" and the success of the ballad "A Moment Like This", her label felt she needed to go back to ballads. However, this failed, as "The Trouble with Love Is" had slight R&B/soul influences that were unsuitable for airplay of ballads at the time. (Adult Contemporary radio and Hot Adult Contemporary radio usually stay away from ballads of this genre.) A role as the love theme for the film Love Actually failed to generate interest.

"The Trouble with Love Is" continued a trend started by Clarkson's previous single "Low", by flopping. The song did chart on the Adult Top 40, Top 40 Tracks, and the Top 40 Mainstream, but failed to do so on the Billboard Hot 100 or the Hot 100 Airplay. The single is most remembered for being Clarkson's first (and to date only) song not to chart on the Hot 100. The song was released as a double A-side in the United Kingdom with *"Low", and not surprisingly it also flopped, peaking at number thirty-five. In contrast, the single performed very well in Australia, peaking at number eleven in the ARIA Singles Chart and achieved gold status. It was not released in Canada.
