It was released in 1981 on their eighth studio album, Computer World (1981), and as a single in the same year. In the UK, it was released with the B-side "The Model". Originally it peaked at number 36 in July before it was re-released on 7 December 1981 with "The Model" promoted to a double A-side, after which it went on to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart. The song was re-arranged and re-recorded for the band's 1991 studio album The Mix.
The melody of "Computer Love" was later sampled in Coldplay's "Talk", taken from their third album X&Y (2005). Prior to release, lead singer Chris Martin asked Kraftwerk for approval.[1] In 2025, Billboard magazine ranked "Computer Love" number 54 in their list of "The 100 Best Dance Songs of All Time".[2]
