"Love Song" is a song by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. This song can be found as the seventh track on their 1975 Australian release of High Voltage. Written by Bon Scott Angus Young and Malcolm Young, this song was never released outside Australia, but exists on some rarities bootlegs.

"Love Song" evolved from an older, unrecorded song called "Fell In Love", written by Malcolm Young and the band's original singer Dave Evans. This earlier version of the song had different lyrics, and the finished lyrics as heard on the album were added by Bon Scott. This song cannot be found on the '74 Jailbreak album, but can be unlocked on AC/DC's website when a remastered copy of '74 Jailbreak is placed in the CD drive. Another notable aspect of this song is not only that it's one of AC/DC's few ballads, but that Malcolm plays lead for most of the song.

In Hobart, Tasmania on January 7, 1977, the intro to this song was used to trick the crowd, and right before the lyrics would normally start the band began to play "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".^{[citation needed]}

This is the only AC/DC song where Angus plays an acoustic guitar.
