"Love Shines" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac. The song was released as a single in 1992 to support the compilation album 25 Years – The Chain. This was the first single released after the departure of vocalist Stevie Nicks and guitarist Rick Vito. The song was released as a single in Europe, but in North America, "Paper Doll" was released instead.

The official music video features the four remaining members playing the song on top of a building in Hollywood, Los Angeles. It was the last music video recorded with this lineup.[1]
