But in advance of an upcoming tour, Love is releasing an double A-side on May 4, and the first song from it should serve as proof that Love’s still got it. “You Know My Name” is a thrilling punk workout that has Love screaming and spewing venom like the alt-rock banshee she once was. Just when the track seems to reach its peak, it ignites with a forceful hook: “All this world is burning up / It’s time that you retire.” Good thing _she_ hasn’t. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/72542/courtney-love-you-know-my-name/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/72542/courtney-love-you-know-my-name/"},"headline":"Hear Courtney Love Howl on \"You Know My Name\": Listen","datePublished":"2014-04-22T21:03:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:26:23.243Z","description":"With promising new material on the way, don't write off the Hole frontwoman just yet","url":"https://time.com/72542/courtney-love-you-know-my-name/","keywords":["Music","Rock"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/72542/courtney-love-you-know-my-name/","name":"Hear Courtney Love Howl on \"You Know My Name\": Listen"}}]}] ```
