"My Love" is a song by American R&B singer Mary J. Blige from her 1992 debut album What's the 411? The song was co-written by singer-songwriter Kenny Greene and Dave Hall, who served as the song's original producer.
The lyrics talks about Mary's relationship with her ex-lover, after his failed relationship with the woman he left Mary for he wants to come back and start over. This causes her to wonder "what you're gonna do without my love?"
The original version is featured on Blige's debut album. A Teddy Riley-produced remix of the song, featuring rapper Heavy D., was released a promotional single in 1994; this version is found on Blige's 1993 What's the 411? Remix album, in a longer form.
The song peaked at #23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and at #29 on the UK Singles Chart, in 1994, becoming her second single to reach the Top 40 in the United Kingdom, the first being "You Don't Have to Worry", which reached #36 on the UK Singles Chart in 1993.
