Look Who Loves You Now is the third studio album by Christian singer Michele Pillar. It was released by Sparrow Records on October 10, 1984. The album was produced and arranged by jazz guitarist (and Pillar's future second husband) Larry Carlton.

Look Who Loves You Now marked a stylistic shift toward a stylish synth-pop and some album-oriented rock (AOR) sound, but retaining some of the AC sounds of her first two albums. This was Pillar's first time working with Carlton. Carlton is best known for playing solo guitar on Mike Post's "Theme From Hill Street Blues" from the television series of the same name. The title song was released as the lead single and gave Pillar her first, and only, number one song on the Christian music chart where it stayed for 13 weeks. Other singles released include "Each Day He Gives Me" and "To Worship You." "To Worship You" is a vocal duet with Scottish Christian singer Sheila Walsh. Other Christian artists contributed songs on the album like Steve Taylor and Bob Bennett. Look Who Loves You Now

charted and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart by February 1985. In 1985, Pillar earned her third and final Grammy nomination for Best Gospel Performance, Female for the album and was nominated for a Dove Award for Female Vocalist of the Year.

This was Pillar's final album on Sparrow Records and her final album of the 1980s as she would not record another for seven years. Pillar took a break from recording as she divorced her first husband Steve Pillar in 1985 and in 1987 married Carlton. During her hiatus, she participated in Steve Camp's charity single "Do Something Now" for Compassion International.
