"Sending My Love" is a song by American R&B group Zhané recorded for their debut album, Pronounced Jah-Nay (1994). It was released as the album's third single on May 23, 1994. The remixes can be viewed on YouTube.

In November 2020, American duo Chloe x Halle covered the song as an exclusive Spotify release.

Release and reception

Jose F. Promis at AllMusic called "Sending My Love" a "glorious, elegant, and sleek" song. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "This infectious third single, produced by Naughty By Nature, proves that the duo is likely to be around a while. Here the twosome offers more of its fine- tuned, trademark blend of subtle groove textures, smooth vocals, and sweet harmonies. It's a winning formula pronounced, simply, "hit"." Bill Speed and John Martinucci from the Gavin Report commented, "Yes! Yes! Yes! This is THE jam. (...) With "Sending My Love", Zhane delivers another radio-friendly groove thang." Ralph Tee from Music Week's RM Dance Update deemed it "a light chirpy tune with floating vocals and keyboards together with a chunky two-step bassline." He added, "Not as instant as the last couple of singles, and without a familiar breakbeat to help it along, this is unlikely to be the track that sets them up for the big time but it's still this week's most firing import. Best stick one away as this is exactly the sort of tune that comes back around just when you can't get it anymore."

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was directed by American film director, producer and actor Antoine Fuqua. The Song Was Almost To Be Feature On The Four Weddings And Funeral Soundtrack.
