"Is This Love" is a song by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, released on 18 May 1987 in the UK as the second single from their self-titled album.
In 2015, Classic Rock magazine ranked it as 7th on their Top 40 greatest power ballads list.
[6] The power ballad[6] was written by vocalist David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes during the album's early writing process (which took place in the south of France), but it was long rumoured that the song had originally been written for Tina Turner.
Before I'd left [for the south of France] a friend at EMI had asked me for any ideas that would work for Tina Turner.
The music video, which was directed by Marty Callner, depicts the band playing the song on a misty stage, intercut with scenes of Coverdale singing, Kitaen dancing and the two of them together.
