"You're the Greatest Lover" is a single by the Dutch girl group Luv', released in July 1978 by Philips/Phonogram Records. It appears on the 1978 debut album With Luv'. The song is the group's international breakthrough as it was successful in a large part of Continental Europe, Israel and South Africa. Luv' reached its peak with this million-seller. "You're the Greatest Lover" is often considered the signature song of the female pop act.
A decade later, Philips' German subsidiary reissued the track as a CD single.
The record was remixed over the years. In 1993, the Dutch Top 40 hit "Megamix '93" was backed with a Eurodance remix of "The Greatest Lover". In 2025, You're the Greatest Lover was remixed twice, first by the Argentinian remixer Ladies On Mas for the reissue of All You Need Is Luv' and then as part of Only Luv' – The Matt Pop Remixes. In 2026, the Dutch DJ-remixer Otto Wunderbar released a remix for the Après ski and Carnival festivities in the Netherlands.
