"You Win My Love" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the fifth single released from her 1995 album The Woman in Me. The song was written entirely by Mutt Lange, making it one of the very few Shania songs which she did not co-write. The song became Twain's third number-one hit at country radio. It spent two weeks at the top of the chart in May of 1996, before taking a considerably large drop to number 11. It was originally released to radio in early 1996, the song was also released as a single in Australia. "You Win My Love" was later included on Twain's 2004 Greatest Hits package.
