"Mine for Me" is a song written by Paul and Linda McCartney.[2] It was recorded by Rod Stewart as a track for his 1974 album Smiler. When released as a single that year, the track became a minor hit in the United States, reaching number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3]

Cash Box said that "the song is a sensitive tune and Rod’s interpretation is excellent" and that "the instrumentation is mellow and Rod’s vocal textures do much to bring life to this vibrant tune."[4] Record World said that the song "breezes along with tropical climes suggested by steel drums."[5]
