True Love is the eighth studio album, and ninth album overall, by American singer Pat Benatar, released in 1991. The album is a combination of covers and original tracks of jump blues, which Benatar recorded with husband Neil Giraldo, Myron Grombacher and the Roomful of Blues horn section and drummer. The CD edition of the album included the seasonal standard "Please Come Home for Christmas" as a bonus track, which was released to the US Troops serving in the Gulf War, and was not included on foreign vinyl and cassette pressings of the album.

True Love reached #37 on the U.S. Billboard album chart.[3] and, as of 2014, has sold 339,000 copies according to SoundScan.[4] with little radio airplay.

Pat Benatar was the May artist of the month for VH-1 in 1991 in support of the album.
