Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me
"Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" is a song written by Diane Warren and recorded by pop singer Chynna Phillips for her solo debut album, Naked and Sacred, released in 1995. The song was released as the fourth and final single from the album, and peaked at #64 in Australia in February 1997.[1] In 1998, the song was recorded by American country music singer Faith Hill as a duet with her husband Tim McGraw. It was the second single from Hill's multi-platinum 1998 album, Faith. The video for the song is notable for being composed almost completely of close-ups. Hill had recently given birth to her second daughter, and the child was resting in her lap during the video shoot. Because of this, the director was forced to use close-ups to avoid including the baby in the footage.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Hill and McGraw's last vocal collaboration, "It's Your Love", spent six weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks, and it racked up countless accolades. With the momentum they have going into this record (separately and together, their careers are on fire). this looks destined to be another big hit—and deservedly so. It's a well-written tune, and Hill delivers it with full-throated passion. When McGraw comes in, backing up his Mrs., it's easy to see why they are being called the George Jones and Tammy Wynette of their generation. This is a beautiful ballad loaded with star power, and it should push all the right buttons at radio and the cash register."[2]
