"'Real Love'" is a song by American singer Jody Watley from her second studio album, 'Larger Than Life' (1989). It became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1989. The single reached the number-one spot on the US Billboard Hot R&B Singles and Dance Club Play charts. On the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot 100, "Real Love" moved into the Top 40 from #51 to #37, the week of April 1, 1989. It lingered in the Top 10 for six weeks, peaking at #2 for two weeks (May 20 and 27), behind Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl".
The music video premiered in March 1989. During the summer of 1989, Watley's "Real Love" video, directed by David Fincher, was nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards including Breakthrough Video, Best Art Direction, Best Dance Video, and Best Female Video at the 1989 award show. That record was held until Michael Jackson's and Janet Jackson's "Scream" received eleven VMA nominations in 1995. The song was also nominated for a Soul Train Music Award for Best Female Single.
