"Love Lady" is a single by British R&B group Damage, released on 28 July 1997 by Big Life Records as the sixth and final single from the band's debut album, Forever (1997). The song peaked at #33 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's second-worst performing single from the album.

The music video features the band performing the song in the middle of the desert. It does not appear online anywhere and has never been released commercially, however it was regularly re-broadcast on The Vault as part of the channel's Damage: Our Career in Music special. Jade Jones refers to it as his favorite video.[ citation needed ]
Kirstin Watson from Smash Hits gave the song a top score of five out of five and named it a Smash Hit, writing, "Wa-hey, it's another swing-tastic tune from The Most Romantic Men in PopTM and we absolutely flippin' love it. 'Love Lady' is a smoochy, swayey, mushy 'number' that'll have you slidin' straight into the lurve one. Ras, Jade, Andrez, Coree and Noel are obviously still in romantic mode after their last big hit 'Wonderful Tonight' and all I can say is with R'n'B as sweet as this just keep it coming fellas!" [2]
