Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man is the name of a studio album by country pop singer, Lynn Anderson in 1977.

This album was successful and sold well. It was named after her hit single from 1977, "Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man". That year, the song was promoted on the highly-popular TV series Starsky & Hutch. Anderson and the song were featured in an episode of the show, bringing great exposure to the title track. The title track reached No. 12 on the Billboard Country charts in 1977. The first single released from the album in late 1976 titled "Sweet Talkin' Man" was a Top 30 Country hit and did fairly well also. "Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man", among other songs on this album, was written by songwriter, John Cunningham, who also had, in the past, written a couple of other Anderson hits.

This album featured all new music and was also one of two albums she released in 1977. It reached No. 28 on the "Top Country Albums" chart in 1977. Most of the songs on this album had a Country-Disco feel to them. This meant that Anderson's songs were getting more up-tempo, and had a Disco music-feel, which was not uncommon during this time in Country music.

Country pop is a fusion genre of country music and pop music that was developed by members of the country genre out of a desire to reach a larger, mainstream audience. Country pop music blends genres like rock, pop, and country, continuing similar efforts that began in the late 1950s, known originally as the Nashville sound and later on as Countrypolitan. By the mid-1970s, many country artists were transitioning to the pop-country sound, which led to some records' charting high on mainstream top 40 as well as the Billboard country chart. In-turn, many pop and easy listening artists crossed over to country charts during this time. After declining in popularity during the neotraditional movement of the 1980s, country pop had a comeback in the 1990s with a sound that drew more heavily on pop rock and adult contemporary.
