"Love's Comin' at Ya" is a dance-pop, funk and post-disco song recorded and released by singer Melba Moore, in 1982. Originally released on EMI America initially, it was also the first single released off her Capitol Records debut album, The Other Side of the Rainbow. The single was a follow-up to her Kashif-produced hit, "Take My Love", which had peaked at number fifteen on the R&B chart in late 1981. "Love's Comin' At Ya" became an even bigger hit, produced by Kashif and Paul Lawrence Jones II, who also wrote the song, reaching number-five on the R&B chart, also reaching number-two on the Hot Dance Singles chart, and also became a hit overseas reaching number-fifteen in the United Kingdom, bringing the singer her best charted single in the country since "This Is It" seven years earlier. The song didn't chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
