"I Could Use a Love Song" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Maren Morris for her debut studio album, Hero (2016). Morris wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz, and co-produced the track with busbee. It was released to North American country radio on March 27, 2017 through Columbia Nashville as the album's third single.

"I Could Use a Love Song" is a "no frills heartbreak song" that finds the narrator becoming jaded towards love. Despite having been burned by previous relationships, Morris remains optimistic and believes that a love song can restore her faith in finding love.

"I Could Use a Love Song" was announced as the album's third single on February 24, 2017. The song was made available to country radio on March 13, but did not officially impact the format until March 27, 2017.

Mike Wass of Idolator expressed surprise over the choice of single, but wrote that the song "harks back to a time in country music when songs examined matters of the heart over simple arrangements," which works in the track's favor. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that "I Could Use a Love Songs" is "more immediately accessible than her previous two radio hits," and praised Morris for expressing a new side to her artistry.

"I Could Use a Love Song" debuted at number 56 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated April 1, 2017 and was the week's highest-debuting single.
