“I Love Your Smile” is a hit song by American singer Shanice, written by Jarvis La Rue Baker, Sylvester Jackson, Narada Michael Walden, and Shanice (born Shanice Lorraine Wilson). It was released in October 1991 as the lead single from her second studio album, Inner Child. The song is an upbeat, feel-good R&B track with elements of new jack swing, featuring Shanice’s bright and playful vocals over a catchy, jazz-infused instrumental.
The song expresses the joy and excitement of being infatuated with someone, focusing on the simple happiness their smile brings. The track is instantly recognizable for its infectious melody and the memorable saxophone solo, played by jazz musician Branford Marsalis.
“I Love Your Smile” became Shanice’s most successful song, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the R&B and Dance charts in the U.S. Internationally, it was a top ten hit in many countries, including No. 2 in the UK and Germany.
