The song is a mid-tempo contemporary R&B track, described as a "sweet love song" by Amuro.[2] The lyrics describe the things that a lover makes them feel, such as feeling that or that they are the only one who they miss.[3]
Producer Hiro considered it a great honour to work with Amuro.[4]
The song was first released to radio on October 27, when it was played on the J-Wave "Groove Line" radio show.[1] It was released as a ringtone download on November 18.[5]
The song charted on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in November and December, charting lowly (generally around #60). it reached its highest week on the November 30 charts, in which is reached #42. The song also peaked on the Billboard Japan Hot Top Airplay/Adult Contemporary Airplay charts at its highest in this week, with #38 and #14 respectively.
"My Love" was used in the Vidal Sassoon hair product campaign, one of two simultaneous promotional campaigns featuring Amuro.[6] It was the fourth in the series of Vidal Sassoon commercial campaigns that Amuro had undergone with the company, featuring a collaboration between her, American stylist Patricia Field and Cuban hair stylist Orlando Pita.[6] The commercials begun airing from October 1 onwards (14 days earlier than the "Amuroad" campaign featuring the song "Copy That").[7]
The commercial has an outer space theme. It centres around three different scenes: one in which Amuro removes a jewelled space helmet, one in which she floats off into space, and one in which she touches down onto earth, near a Stonehenge-style stone circle monument.
A reference to the theme is found in the song's lyrics: "When you touch me tenderly // it's like I'm in outer space."[3]
