The song is the only track from the album with any Prince input. The released version was produced by Jay Graydon. In June 1987, You’re My Love was included as the b-side of Ronnie Misap and Kenny Rogers' single Make No Mistake, She’s Mine. The single reached number 1 on the Billboard Country charts, and number 42 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
