"Italian Love Song" is a pop song written by Tina Arena, Francesco De Benedittis, Davide Esposito and Paul Manners, produced by Manners for Arena's sixth album Greatest Hits 1994-2004 (2004). The song was released as a single in Australia on 5 November 2004 but failed to make a major impact on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart peaking at number thirty-three and spending two weeks in the top fifty.[1]

Included on the single is "Take Me Apart" which is the only other new track featured on her greatest hits album and a previously unreleased remix of "Dare You to Be Happy", a single from her album Just Me (2001). The song also features a music video clip shot by Australian director Anthony Rose in a small fishing village in Southern France.
