"I Love Your Smile" was the name of R&B singer Shanice's single released in late 1991. Reaching the #2 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, it became her best known and most successful hit to date. It is also believed that the word "psyche" was popularized when she used it in the song. The radio and video version of the song edits out the rap bridge from the album version.

[edit] Music Video
In the music video, Shanice is in a studio having several pictures taken by a photographer. One scene shows her in a leather jacket, one of her sitting in a chair in front of a microphone stand, and another of her dancing with several backup dancers. In the middle of the video, Shanice walks through the park and the photographer hides behind a tree while he takes more pictures of her. At the end, Shanice offers to take a picture of a family, and then takes a picture of the photographer.
