My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. It was Houston's first studio album in eight years, following I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) although she had participated on three movie soundtracks during that period.

It is notable for introducing elements of hip hop into Houston's work, only sparingly used in her previous material.

The song was later included on the group's third studio album Survivor (2001).
