"If You Really Love Me" is the title of a song written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright. Wonder recorded the song and released his version as a single from his 1971 album Where I'm Coming From. The single proved very successful, peaking in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 (#8), Billboard's R&B chart (#4), and Billboard's Easy Listening chart (#10). The song was among one of the last to feature Motown's background band The Funk Brothers. After its release, Wonder would leave the Hitsville USA studios to record in New York playing most of the instruments himself. Wonder played Moog bass synthesizer, drums, and piano on "If You Really Love Me" while Wright is featured in the background singing.
