"My Love" is the debut single by British DJ and record producer Route 94. It features vocals by Jess Glynne. It was released in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2014, through Rinse Recordings. The song topped the UK Singles Chart, peaked at number 12 on the Irish Singles Chart and also charted in Belgium. The song was written and produced by Route 94. The single is styled in deep house and bears strong influences from 1990s Eurodance.
Glynne's previous single, "Rather Be" with Clean Bandit, topped the UK chart the previous month. The song and an acoustic version appear on the deluxe edition of her album I Cry When I Laugh.
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating:
"The latest producer-turned-frontman poised to take over the charts seemingly out of nowhere is Route 94; a Rinse FM-signed wonderkid who has shot through the ranks after receiving praise from Radio 1's Annie Mac as well as D'n'B DJs Skream and Benga. What's more, his mysterious alias actually holds meaning: it's the US highway that links Chicago – the home of house music – and Detroit, the birthplace of techno. Naturally, what will almost certainly be his breakthrough hit 'My Love' lands somewhere in the middle on the deep house pH spectrum, its heady piano thuds and gauzy electro glow offset by the radio friendly vocals of Jess Glynne, who featured on Clean Bandit's recent chart topper 'Rather Be'. And while you'd think the latter's recent success would have satisfied the public's appetite for chart-friendly house, we suspect its reign is far from over yet."
