Is It Really Love?

"Is It Really Love?" is pop vocalist Jermaine Stewart's first of three singles of 1989. The song is from his third album Say It Again. It was the last of four singles from this album.

Since 1988, there had been a decline in Stewart's popularity, with the 1988 single "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" only reaching #61 in the UK. "Is It Really Love" was not released as a single in the UK but as a single in Germany only, where the country took an interest, with the song peaking at #41 there.

No promotional video was created for the single and no TV performances of the song exist which may have contributed to the limited success the single had.

"Is It Really Love?" was written by André Cymone and Jody Watley. Cymone was a former bandmate of Prince and also ex-husband of Watley. Watley is an American, singer, songwriter, record producer, and founder of Avitone Records, best known for her single "Looking for a New Love" and "Real Love".

The b-side for the single "Search" was exclusive to the single, written by Jermaine Stewart and Roy Carter. The b-side later appeared on the 2005 compilation Attention: A Tribute to Jermaine Stewart. Carter was rhythm guitarist for the disco band Heatwave before leaving to pursue a career in record production.
