"My Valentine" is a song written and performed by English musician Paul McCartney. It appears on his fifteenth solo studio album Kisses on the Bottom (2012), and was released as the record's lead single on 20 December 2011. One of only two original compositions on the album, "My Valentine" was written as a love song for McCartney's wife, Nancy Shevell.[1] The song features Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar.[2]

"My Valentine" earned positive reviews from critics, with multiple publications feeling it held its own against the covers on Kisses on the Bottom. A music video was created for the song, directed by McCartney and starring Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp.[3]
