"Love Is the Groove" is the debut single by the American-born singer-songwriter Betsy Cook, released on January 6, 1992,[1] by East West Records from her debut studio album, The Girl Who Ate Herself (1992).

Cher's version featured similar, yet more updated techno-sounding instrumentation and slightly altered lyrics.

Upon its release, The Arbroath Herald awarded "Love Is the Groove" an eight out of ten rating and wrote, "There's rather a nice melody to this track, which has an almost Christmassy sound about it, and it certainly is a grower – given the right exposure it could easily make the top ten.

"[2] The Chorley Guardian rated it nine out of ten and called it a "beautifully atmospheric track that makes its dance backing at first surprising".

The reviewer continued, "The love lyrics would sit comfortably on any Enya album, but the quality of the production is enough to convince us that the two can be put together very successfully.
