"Your Love Is So Good for Me" is a song recorded by American singer Diana Ross for her eighth studio album Baby It's Me (1977). The song was written by Ken Peterson, and produced by Richard Perry.

The song was released as a single in 1978, although in October 1977, unlike the lead single "Gettin' Ready for Love", released at the same time, it entered the US dance chart. The fact is that the album itself was released in September, and the first single was released only in October. During this time, DJs began to independently put tracks from the album in clubs, so "Your Love Is So Good for Me" and "Top of the World" hit the chart without being singles in October. The song quickly rose to the 15th position and stayed on the chart for 18 weeks.[2] In the Hot 100, the song was less successful, reaching only the 49th position.[3]

At the 20th Annual Grammy Awards, the song received a nomination, not yet being a single, in the category "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance", but lost to "Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston.[4]
