"Real Love" is a 1992 single by hip hop soul singer Mary J. Blige. It was the second single from Blige's debut album "What's the 411?". Real Love was written and produced by Mark C. Rooney and Mark Morales (of The Fat Boys fame), and built off a drum sample from hip hop duo Audio Two's 1988 track "Top Billin" and MC Lyte's song "10% Diss,". It was one of the songs which gave Blige her reputation as "the queen of hip-hop soul".

"Real Love" was her first top-ten pop hit, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, and her second number one hit on Billboard's R&B singles chart. The remix featured the second appearance of rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who was then going by the name Biggie Smalls, and a sample of Betty Wright's 1972 single, "Clean Up Woman". The song eventually helped "What's the 411?" sell more than three million copies in America alone.
