Lovin' Every Minute of It is the fourth studio album, released in 1985 by the rock band Loverboy. The album became a hit thanks to the title track which reached #9 at US Billboard Hot 100, while "This Could Be the Night" peaked at #10, "Dangerous" #65 and "Lead a Double Life" #68. The album went double platinum, being the last of the band's to do so.

Due to scheduling conflicts this is the first album the band did not use Bruce Fairbairn as their producer.^[3] Tom Allom was hired as a replacement.

Cash Box said of the single "Lead a Double Life" that "Loverboy’s trademark straightforward pop/rock angle is given a slight 'new music,' Devo-ish bent here."^[4] Billboard said it borrowed "aggressive mannerisms from the new wave."^[5]
