"Love Like You and Me" is a song by English glam rock singer Gary Glitter, written by Glitter with Gerry Shephard and Mike Leander and produced by Mike Leander. It was released as a standalone single in the UK in 1975, and peaked at No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart.

Glam rock is a style of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s performed by musicians who wore outrageous costumes, makeup, and hairstyles, particularly platform shoes and glitter. Glam artists drew on diverse sources across music and throwaway pop culture, ranging from bubblegum pop and 1950s rock and roll to cabaret, science fiction, and complex art rock. The flamboyant clothing and visual styles of performers were often camp or androgynous, and have been described as playing with nontraditional gender roles. "Glitter rock" was another term used to refer to a more extreme version of glam.
