Love Will Show Us How

"Love Will Show Us How" is a song by Christine McVie, released as the second single from her eponymous second solo album in 1984. The song reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #32 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Todd Sharp, who co-wrote "Love Will Show Us How" with McVie, recalled that it was originally conceived as a soft acoustic song. "That one really birthed itself and I think surprised us both when it became the song that it did."

For the music video, Sharp spent most of the day suspended up 30 feet in the air and pulled off a stunt with an exploding guitar. Sharp wrote in a Q&A that "It was not really a fun day for me as I spent most of it on a lift 30 feet in the air. (I'm terrified of heights), had an exploding guitar (I'm terrified of exploding things) and I'm sure at the end of that long day of inhaling fog juice I went home and went to bed." A medic and fire marshal were on the set during the shooting of the music video.

Reception
Cash Box said that the song "is a thoroughly upbeat tune with a stiff tempo and smooth backup harmonies" and that "the one-of-a-kind McVie vocal is like smoke and satin."
