"To Love Again"" is a compilation album by Diana Ross, produced by Michael Masser. Following the success of 1980's "diana" produced by Chic the set was released in early 1981 and consisted of old and newly recorded love songs by the Motown diva. "It's My Turn" was the main theme from a 1980 movie starring Michael Douglas and Jill Clayburgh and had been released both on the soundtrack album and as a single prior to the "To Love Again" compilation and the title track was originally included on the overlooked 1978 album "Ross". The two new recordings "One More Chance" and "Cryin' My Heart Out For You" were both issued as singles.

"To Love Again" was to be Ross' last album of new material for Motown (before her return in 1989) after signing a $20 million contract with RCA.

In 2003 Motown/Universal Music re-released the album doubling the number of tracks to 20. Two of the tracks, "We're Always Saying Goodbye" and "Share Some Love", had been previously unreleased. It also marked the first time many of the songs appeared on compact disc.
