Be My Lover was released in 1995 by La Bouche, the German Eurodance project fronted by Melanie Thornton and Lane McCray. It became one of the defining club hits of the mid nineties, reaching high chart positions across Europe and the United States and appearing on the album Sweet Dreams. Its mix of sung chorus and rapped verses captured the era's dance pop formula. The track has stayed in rotation through retro playlists, radio throwbacks and social media edits that revive nineties club culture.
