"My Love Is Better" is a song by Norwegian recording artist Annie from her second studio album, Don't Stop (2009). Released as the album's second single on 9 October 2009, the track originally had featured backing vocals by Girls Aloud. "My Love Is Better" was re-released on 15 March 2010 as a 12" single.

Girls Aloud controversy

"My Love Is Better" initially featured backing vocals by British pop group Girls Aloud.[1] Annie received tabloid attention when various publications wrote that Girls Aloud requested "My Love Is Better" be removed from the album. Producer Brian Higgins was reported to have included vocal tracks from a Girls Aloud demo in the song without their permission.[2] Annie told Digital Spy in an interview that "it's not as dramatic as they said in the papers", citing problems with the record company. "Brian asked them if they'd like to help out. They were really up for it and came into my studio and it was really fun."[3] The issue was resolved and the song remained on Annie's album.[4] She continued, "of course their record company said no and they ended up not singing on the song after all. I thought it was a little bit stupid but what can you say? It wasn't my choice. They were really nice, very sweet."[5]
