"Does He Love You" is a song performed by Reba McEntire and Linda Davis from McEntire's 1993 album Greatest Hits Volume Two.

The Reba McEntire/Linda Davis version of this song was one of the most-awarded songs of McEntire's career despite initial resistance from the record label. MCA Records didn't think a two-woman duet would go over well at radio or with the fans. They also didn't like the idea of an unknown background vocalist singing the powerhouse tune with Reba. The label suggested McEntire approach label-mates Trisha Yearwood or Wynonna Judd as possible duet partners. When both turned down Reba's request, Linda Davis was then chosen to record the song. McEntire's instinct paid off as the song soared to the #1 position on the country charts in the fall of 1993, giving McEntire her eighteenth and Davis her first and only Number One single.

The single went on to win the Grammy award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration[1], a Country Music Association Award for Vocal Event of the Year, and a TNN/Music City News award for Best Vocal Collaboration.
