"Show Me Love" is a song performed by American singer Robin S. The song was written by Allen George and Fred McFarlane, originally released in October 1990 by Champion Records in the United Kingdom. In 1992, it was remixed by Swedish house music production duo StoneBridge and Nick Nice, and re-released in many European countries as well as the United States and Japan. It became one of the most well known house anthems in the United Kingdom, and Robin's biggest hit to date. It helped to make house more mainstream. In 1993, it was included on Robin S.'s debut album of the same name. Confusion arose with the 1997 hit "Show Me Love" by Swedish singer Robyn, due to their homonymous names and identical titles.

In the US, "Show Me Love" reached numbers five and four on the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100, number seven on the R&B chart,[5] and number one on the dance club chart. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and sold 600,000 copies domestically.[6][7] Additionally, the song went to number six on the UK Singles Chart in April 1993.[8] Its music video was directed by Millicent Shelton, featuring Robin S. performing onstage in a nightclub.
