"Dove (I'll Be Loving You)" is a song by Italian musician Moony, released on 27 May 2002 from her first album, Lifestories (2002), as her debut solo single. It achieved success in several European and Oceanian countries, becoming a top-20 hit in Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom. "Dove" remains Moony's biggest solo hit. The music video was shot in Spain by Canadian director Stuart Gosling.
Critical reception Miriam Hubner of Music & Media magazine praised the song, complimenting Moony's "fresh" vocals and "cutting-edge" production. In Birmingham, 96.4 FM BRMB programme controller Adam Bridge said of the song, "I think it's a fresh, bright and funky piece of poppy dance music".
