"You Make Loving Fun" is a song written by Christine McVie. Fleetwood Mac, of which McVie was a member, released it as the fourth and final single from their 1977 album Rumours. McVie provided lead vocals for the track. The song was the third top ten hit from the album, peaking at number nine on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart.

"You Make Loving Fun" was the first song ever officially released by singer Cyndi Lauper. Lauper was commissioned by a publicly unknown individual in 1977 to record several songs written by other artists. The only release to come of these sessions at that time was a 7" vinyl single of this track. Details about the release are unknown even to Lauper herself, who did not own her own copy until a fan gave her one in 2002. Lauper then remarked she was paid only twelve dollars for her work, to "sound like someone else."
After Lauper's later success, a 12" vinyl single featuring new remixes was released in Japan in 1984 on a small independent label called Jam Spot, which was a division of Yamano Music Co. In 1989, a 3" CD single also surfaced in Japan with the same mixes. All of these versions are considered rarities in Lauper's catalogue.
