"My Love" is a 1965 single release by Petula Clark which in early 1966 became an international hit, reaching #1 in the US.

Clark's regular songwriter and producer Tony Hatch wrote "My Love" while flying from London to Los Angeles, where he had a scheduled recording session with Clark. Originally Hatch had been occupied during the flight putting the finishing touches on another song: "The Life and Soul of the Party," which was to be Clark's next single but in casual conversation with the American sitting next to him Hatch was advised that this song's title would be meaningless to the American public. Hatch proceeded to write a song whose title - "My Love" - could not conceivably present any comprehension issue; the lyrics were completed on the plane and Hatch wrote the music soon after landing.

"My Love" was recorded at Western Studios [1] and featured the backing of the Wrecking Crew.

Clark had disliked the song and had to be persuaded to record it; she remained unhappy with the recorded track and begged Warner Bros. Records not to release it. However Joe Smith, the Warner Brothers executive who had first brought Clark to the label after hearing "Downtown", was determined that "My Love" be Clark's next single.

Released in December 1965, "My Love" became Clark's second single to reach #1 on the in February 1966 making Clark the first British female to have two US #1 hits. Also a #1 hit in Canada, "My Love" returned Clark to the UK Top Ten for the first time since "Downtown" two years previous with a March 1966 peak of #4. "My Love" became a certified Gold record for US sales of one million units and in the UK the single earned a Silver disc for sales of 200,000 units.

"My Love" also provided Clark with a hit in Australia (#4), New Zealand (#6), Rhodesia (#1) and South Africa (#6) and reached #13 in both the Netherlands and the Dutch speaking region of Belgium. In Germany "My Love" became a hit first in its original English version (#13) and then again when rendered in German as "Verzeih' die dummen Tränen" (Forgive the foolish tears) (#21). Translated recordings by Clark also made "My Love" a hit in France and Italy, respectively as "Mon amour" (#12) and "L'amore e il vento" (Love is the wind) (#24).
