"If You Love Me" is a song by Soul group Brownstone, released on October 24, 1994 by MJJ Music and Epic Records. It is the second single from their debut album From the Bottom Up. The song was written by Gordon Chambers, Nichole Gilbert, and Dave Hall, and features a sample from "Spellbound" (1990) by American rapper K-Solo.[1] "If You Love Me" was which nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance in 1996, but lost to "Creep" by TLC.

It is their biggest hit peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles chart, as well as number two on the Billboard Hot R&B songs chart. It also topped the chart for five weeks in New Zealand, but achieved a moderate success in the other countries where it was released. The song was later featured in the 1998 film Living Out Loud, in a fantasy ensemble dance sequence featuring Holly Hunter. The music video for the Remix features rapper Craig Mack. In 2015, Canadian rapper Tory Lanez sampled the song for his hit single "Say It".
