Wikipedia article
"'Love Your Love the Most'" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Eric Church. It was released in February 2009 as the first single from his 2009 album 'Carolina'. The song became his first Top 10 hit on the US 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs chart with a peak at number 10. Church wrote this song with Michael P. Heeney.
Content
"Love Your Love the Most" is a mid-tempo song in which the male narrator lists off various objects that he likes (e.g. "Yes, I love good cold beer / And mustard on my fries / I love a good loud honky-tonk / That rocks on Friday nights"). He then goes on to say that although he loves these, what he loves most is his female partner ("Honey, I love your love the most").
Critical reception
Dan Milliken of 'Country Universe' gave the song a D grade, saying that the lyrics "[run] through a pointless list of completely unrelated things he likes or believes in[]This time, though, the list is set up to show his woman that he appreciates her more than even the finest in material pleasures." He compared its theme to Tom T. Hall's Number One hit "I Love", but said that while that song "sounded knowingly silly", "Love Your Love the Most" had a more serious sound in contrast to its list approach. In 2017, 'Billboard' contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Love Your Love the Most" at number nine on his top 10 list of Church's best songs.
