"There's a Whole Lot of Loving" is a 1975 hit song by Guys 'n' Dolls written by Christian Arnold with lyrics by David Martin and Geoff Morrow. The song was a number-two hit in both the United Kingdom and Ireland, and became the biggest hit for the group. The song was also an adult contemporary hit in North America, peaking at number 15 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart and number 17 on Canada's RPM Pop Music Playlist. Elsewhere, the song reached the top 20 in Belgium, the Netherlands, and South Africa.

The song was covered in 2002 by Irish pop band Six and was a number-one single in Ireland, where it was titled "There's a Whole Lot of Loving Going On". It became Ireland's best-selling song of 2002 and went on to become the country's third best-selling single of all time.
