"Turn It into Love" is a single released from singer Kylie Minogue's debut album Kylie. The single was released in December 1988 and was written by Stock Aitken Waterman.

The single was released exclusively in Japan in 1988, where the cover version in Japanese entitled "Ai ga Tomaranai", performed by a female pop duo called Wink became #1 hit on the Japanese Oricon chart in next year. Original recorded version by Minogue also gained moderate commercial success in that country, reaching #24 on the same hit parade.

The song itself was covered by Hazell Dean and featured on her 1988 album "Always". Hazell Dean's version was significantly different from Kylie's and the production was heavily rearranged to reflect Hazell's earlier disco hits. Despite the popularity of the track on Kylie's album, and the re-invented Hazell Dean already having had two Top 20 hits in 1988, the track peaked at a disappointing Number 21.
