"For Lovers" is the debut single by Wolfman featuring Pete Doherty. The single reached No. 7 in the UK singles chart.[1] Rumours that the pair received relatively little money, having already sold the publishing rights for a small amount in a pub[2] are unfounded[citation needed] as in reality the rights were shared amongst the musicians who worked mostly without pay on the recording.

In 2005 the song was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for songwriting.[3]
