"Love Will Save the Day" is a song recorded by American singer Whitney Houston from her second diamond studio album Whitney (1987). The song was released in May 1988 by Arista Records as the album's fifth single.
Written by Toni C. and produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez, the song conveys a message of hope and resilience in the face of life's challenges. It featured a guest appearance by vibraphonist Roy Ayers.
Despite not producing a music video, the song was still successful, becoming a top ten single in various countries, including the United States, where it peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.
Notable for breaking Houston's historic streak of seven consecutive number one singles, the song still made chart history for Houston, becoming her ninth consecutive top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 and made her just the third female artist to score five top ten pop singles off a single album.
It also landed in the top ten on three other major Billboard charts, reaching number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, becoming Houston's third straight chart-topper on that chart. It also reached the top ten in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
