My Precious Love is a soulful rock ballad composed by Lenny Kravitz, released as the fourth track on his debut album Let Love Rule in September 1989 on Virgin Records. The composition is built on a verse-chorus structure with a distinctive harmonic approach, cycling through chords including half-diminished and dominant voicings that create a yearning, unresolved quality. The chorus features a pleading refrain set over A, Dm, Bm7b5, and Bb7 changes, while the verses shift to brighter major tonalities starting in F, providing emotional contrast. The mid-tempo ballad blends rock, soul, and funk sensibilities characteristic of Kravitz's retro-inspired aesthetic, which drew heavily from 1960s and 1970s musical traditions. Henry Hirsch, who co-engineered the album with Kravitz, contributes a notable piano solo on the original studio recording. A remastered version appeared on the 20th Anniversary Edition of Let Love Rule in 2009, and a live rendition recorded in Paris was released in 2008. The tune remains a deep cut within Kravitz's catalog rather than a widely covered standard, appreciated primarily by dedicated fans of his early work for its intimate, emotionally direct character. On AllSolos, the track is represented through Hirsch's piano solo from the original 1989 recording.
