"Why I Love You So Much" is a song by American R&B singer Monica. It was written and produced by Daryl Simmons and recorded for her debut studio album, Miss Thang (1995). A downtempo love song about a partner hitting all the right notes, the tender R&B ballad has Moncia singing over a warm bass and soaring keyboard chords. "Why I Love You So Much" was released as the album's fourth and final single on a double A-side with "Ain't Nobody" during the second quarter of 1996.
The song earned largely positive review from music critics. It became Monica's third consecutive top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number nine, while also peaking at number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In July 1996, it was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Elsewhere, it peaked at number 22 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. A music video for "Why I Love You So Much," shot with Kevin Bray in San Francisco, was released in April 1996.
