"Love's Got a Hold on My Heart" is a song by Steps, which became a hit in the United Kingdom. It was the lead single to be taken from the band's second album "Steptacular".

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the song was originally written in 1991 by Pete Waterman and remained unrecorded until given to Steps 8 years later. The song features Faye and Claire on lead vocals.

The video, shot in Cannes in the South of France, was directed by Dani Jacobs. The main plot sees the group chase a man who has stolen the film reel for the fictitious "Steps: The Movie, intercut with clips of the band performing the dance routine on a jetty (dressed in yellow outfits) ".
