"My Forbidden Lover" is the second single from Chic's 1979 album Risqué. A funk/soul genre and in the style of Disco, the song was written and produced by Chic's two frontmen, Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers.

The song's backing track has been sampled in the subsequent years, including in the 1999 Nerio's Dubwork song "Sunshine and Happiness", the 2001 Alcazar song "Sexual Guarantee", the 2006 Luther Vandross song "Shine" (along with its cover by Booty Luv), the Darryl Pandy song "Sunshine & Happiness", and the 2010 Black Eyed Peas song "Fashion Beats". Canadian producer deadmau5 sampled this song in one of his early works, "I Don't Want No Other", released on his SectionZ page in 2001.

Billboard Magazine described "My Forbidden Lover" as following its #1 soul music hit "Good Times" with "another impeccably produced rhythm number."
