I Love to Love

"I Love to Love" is a song by German Eurodance duo La Bouche, released in November 1995 as the fourth and final single from their debut studio album, Sweet Dreams (1995). The single was a modest commercial success in comparison with "Be My Lover" and "Sweet Dreams", but made it to number five in Hungary and number six in Australia. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "I Love to Love" reached number 37 in February 1996. In Canada, it peaked at number two on the RPM Dance/Urban chart. The CD maxi-single's cover features also the title of the fourth track, a cover of Patrice Rushen's 1982 song "Forget Me Nots". "I Love to Love" earned a Gold certification in Australia, with a sale of 35,000 copies.
