Greatest Love of All
The approval you're chasing has to start at home 💛
Who it's for
Houston's recording of the Masser and Creed song is about finding dignity and strength inside yourself rather than waiting for heroes or other people's approval.

What it is
"Greatest Love of All" was composed by Michael Masser with lyrics by Linda Creed, and George Benson first recorded it in 1977 for the Muhammad Ali biopic The Greatest. Whitney Houston's version appeared on her 1985 debut album, Whitney Houston, and became a US No. 1 single in 1986. Houston described the message as learning to love yourself, flaws and mistakes included.
