Lewis performed the song live on the fourth series of " The X Factor" on 20 October 2007, and also made appearances on several other TV and radio shows such as T4, GMTV and " Loose Women". This was followed by an appearance on " This Morning" on 15 October.

Lewis went on a two-day regional UK radio tour to promote the single and album on 11 and 12 October 2007. The song was also Scott Mills's record of the week from Monday 24 September to Friday 28 September. It was reported that over 1.5 million people listened to the song online. The song's first radio play was on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 16 September 2007, and was quickly followed by an online exclusive streaming by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. The darker quality of superimposing the second half of the verse, as well as the final chorus over this VI chord progression, in addition to resolving the song on this relative minor, enhances the intensity of the pain and pathos of the song. What is special in Bleeding Love is that the turn around from the common I, VI, IV, V progression used exclusively up to the bridge for both verses and choruses shifts to focus on the relative minor: VI, IV, I/V, V. A harmonic shift or harmonic variety generally identifies most song bridges. The song employs an interesting yet subtle harmonic shift beginning at the bridge. A heavy, distorted marching band-like drum loop backs the song. Synthesized strings are also prominent throughout the song, which intermittently integrates wood block percussion throughout the track. It employs a church organ which is audible throughout the song until the bridge. "Bleeding Love" is constructed in the common verse-chorus-bridge song pattern.

However, all she can do is "bleed love" for him. Metaphorically, this is represented in him "cutting her open". Regardless of the numerous warnings from her friends and the fact that she is emotionally hurt by her lover, she continues to love him and accepts the pain. The song refers to someone in a relationship who is extremely blinded by love. The range of the song for her version is around an octave-and-a-half. Lewis performs her highest pitch (A"5") during the final chorus, and her lowest pitch (D4) during each verse.

In June 2008, the ringtone was certified Platinum.
