"The Lover in You" is a song by American rapper, producer and actor Big Daddy Kane, released in February 1992 by Cold Chillin' / Warner Bros. as the second and final single from his fourth studio album, Prince of Darkness (1991). Produced by Kane, the song used a sample of Prince's 1985 hit "Pop Life", for which Prince is credited as a writer. It is based on an earlier rap of the same title by the Sugarhill Gang.
A remixed version samples the Loose Ends song "Hanging on a String", but it also reuses the original's synthesizer intro.
Though it did not reach the US Billboard Hot 100, the song was a hit on the Billboard R&B chart, peaking at number 26.
