Try Love is a studio album by Amii Stewart, first released in Italy in 1984. It includes singles "That Loving Feeling" (written by Tony Joe White), "I Gotta Have You Back" and "Try Love".

After the commercial success of the non-album single "Friends" in 1985, the album was re-released internationally with an extended remix of the song replacing the track "Mother Mary." Certain original (1984) versions of the album had already included the original (non-extended) version of "Friends" as an additional (fifth) track on Side A, maintaining "Mother Mary" as the final track on the album.[1]

Try Love has been reissued on the MP3 download format.
