"'It's a Loving Thing'" is a song by Dutch electronic music vocalist CB Milton, released in 1994 as the third single from his debut album by the same name (1994). It was a major hit in Europe, reaching number three in Belgium, number 16 in the Netherlands and number 19 in Finland. In the UK, it peaked at number 49, but in March 1995 a remixed version peaked at number 34. On the UK Dance Singles Chart, it fared even better, reaching number 27, and on the Eurochart Hot 100, it went to number 41. Outside Europe, the song hit number three in Israel. There were made two different music videos to promote the single.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "For a change, some of the best pop records are down in the lower reaches this week. The debut hit for C B Milton follows a tried and tested Eurodisco formula and in the footsteps of artists such as Haddaway. The result is an extremely radio-friendly hit single which deserves better things than this chart position." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented that Milton "has drunk out of Haddaway's cup, and now he knows what's love. And what's more, his producers provided him with the right pop techno slammer."
The magazine also complimented it as "a restoration of the old values of pop dance." A reviewer from 'Music Week' rated the song three out of five, adding, "Milton's soulful voice is down in the mix on this relentless Euro techno stomper, unsurprisingly remixed by the 2 Unlimited production team. Annoying, and annoyingly catchy." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it a "huskily lisping black Dutchman's cheesy synth seared galloping 0-137.9bpm Haddaway-ish but more frantic catchy Euro smash".
