Sade | Your Love Is King (1984)

"Your Love Is King" is a song by English band Sade from their debut studio album, Diamond Life (1984).

The song was written by Sade Adu and Stuart Matthewman, and produced by Robin Millar. It was the album's lead single in the UK, released in February 1984 and the third single in the US, released there circa June 1985.


The song became the group's highest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart to date, peaking at number 6. In the US, it reached number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 35 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart, and number eight on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. The B-sides of the 12-inch single were included on cassette versions of Diamond Life, with the extended "Smooth Operator/Snake Bite" replacing the original. The song is performed on the Live Aid concert.


English pop singer Will Young covered the song for the soundtrack to the 2004 film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
