"Is There Any Love in Your Heart" is a song by American musician Lenny Kravitz and released on November 22, 1993 by Virgin Records, as the fourth single from his third studio album, Are You Gonna Go My Way (1993). Following its release, the song reached the top 50 in Australia and New Zealand and peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.

The music video was directed by Mark Romanek and features Canadian model Ève Salvail playing a vampire.

Reception

James E. Perone in The Album: A Guide to Pop Music's Most Provocative, Influential, and Important Creations stated, "The Kravitz and Craig Ross collaboration 'Is There Any Love in Your Heart' re-creates the style of late 1960s' and early 1970s hard rock." Alan Sculley of The Crisis noted, "There is one particularly acidic track directed to gold diggers attracted by his celebrity status, "Is There Any Love in Your Heart."
