"Real Love" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams.

[1] In their review of Little Honey, Spin stated "Williams goes back to the roots-rock well and takes a long, satisfying swig", and referred to "Real Love" as a "rowdy bar-band rave-up.

"[2] AllMusic called it "rollicking, with jangling, charging guitars by Doug Pettibone, and Rob Burger on Wurlitzer, and a backing chorus held down by the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet.

Its pop/rock bent is tempered by the roiling pace and Williams's trademark Louisiana voice.

"[3] Rolling Stone singled out the track; "amid boogie-rock riffing, she alternately pledges her heart to a guy, a girl, and an electric guitar.
