"It's Only Love" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and released by The Beatles in 1965 (on the Help! album in the UK, and on the Rubber Soul album in the U.S.). This song was later covered by Bryan Ferry on his 1976 album Let's Stick Together, by Gary U.S. Bonds on his 1981 album Dedication and by Peter Cetera on his 2001 album Another Perfect World.

The song is usually considered more of a cult classic Beatles tune, not attracting widespread notice. The song's working title was "That's a Nice Hat (Cap)". Years later, Lennon would say that he did not mind the song's melody, but hated the lyrics, calling them "commonplace." In another interview, when asked to name his least favourite Beatle songs, he named "It's Only Love" and Rubber Soul's "Run for Your Life".[citation needed]
