Facts of Love is the fifth studio album by American Christian singer-songwriter Kim Boyce, released in 1992. It is Boyce's first album on Warner Music Group's Christian/gospel label Warner Alliance.[2] The album's first single released to both Christian AC and Christian CHR/Pop was "When Love Calls Your Name", which was originally recorded by American actress and singer Cher on her 1991 album Love Hurts. The title song is a cover of the British pop duo Climie Fisher from their 1989 album Coming In for the Kill. Brian Tankersley and musician Bryan Lenox produced five tracks each. The album debuted and peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.[3]
