"Love Story" is a song by French singer-songwriter Indila. It was released on 27 October 2014 via Capitol Records and AZ as the fifth and last single from her debut studio album, Mini World (2014). The song speaks of a love story.
Commercial performance "Love Story" failed to reproduce the success of the singles from her album Mini World (2014); it has entered Belgium and her native country France, at number 48 and 57, respectively. However, the song became popularised several years later, particularly on TikTok. The YouTube clip of "Love Story" has accumulated more than 483 million views as of April 2026.
In 2025, the song was sampled in "What You Saying" by Lil Uzi Vert.
