You’re My Love is the third track on American country music singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers' fourteenth studio album They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To, written by Prince under the pseudonym Joey Coco (the first time this pseudonym had been used officially). 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.

Although exact recording dates are not known, basic tracking for Prince’s original version took place in March 1982 at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio. In 1984, the song was considered for The Family, but no new recording was done on the track at the time. A mix was done the following year on 25 September 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California.

Clare Fischer added orchestral overdubs in May 1986, by which time it was attributed to Prince and the Revolution, but Kenny Rogers and his band re-recorded the song in the Spring or Summer of 1986 (at one of several studios - Garden Rakes, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA; Conway, Hollywood, California; Can/Am, Tarzana, CA, USA; House Of Gold, Nashville, TN, USA or The Garage, Nashville, TN, USA), and the released version contains no musical input by Prince. The released version contains background vocals by El DeBarge, who would later record and release another track by Prince, Tip O’ My Tongue.

In 2019, Prince’s own version was released as the seventh track on the posthumous album Originals.
