"Love Thing" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner from her 1991 album Simply the Best. The single, which brought Turner back to her rock roots, also included the non-album track "I'm a Lady", written and produced by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "New song featured on upcoming greatest-hits collection, "Simply the Best", is a swaggering rocker, replete with crunchy guitars and a muscular rhythm section. Tune and arrangement are a perfect match for Turner's signature growl."[1] Liverpool Echo wrote, "Tough stuff this time with heavy rock riffs matched with aggressive vocals. Not for the faint-hearted."[2]

Music video[]

A music video was made to accompany the song, directed by American film director and producer Michael Bay and featuring American model Tyra Banks.[3] It was published on YouTube in March 2009. By November 2020, the video has over 1,7 million views.[4][5]
