"Love Walks In" is a power ballad[1][2][3] by American rock band Van Halen released as the third single from the band's seventh studio album, 5150 (1986). It was the first song the band wrote with vocalist Sammy Hagar.[4][5][6] It peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart,[7] and reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8]
Background
To quote Hagar:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
I'm a firm believer - have seen, have felt, have been contacted three or four different times. I have received information that has been valuable in my life from those people (extraterrestrial life), and they have used me. I'm gonna sound like a complete nut here, but they have used me in an experimental fashion. The easiest way to put it is that they downloaded my brain information.[9]

Hagar wrote the lyrics on the spot and sang it live with a hand-held mic.[10][11]
Billboard called it a "tricky little tune" that goes "from hard-rock swagger to a graceful chorus hook."[12]
