"Love Songs (In the Key of Gallagher)" is the twelfth episode and season finale of the fifth season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name. It is the 60th overall episode of the series and was written by series developer John Wells and directed by executive producer Christopher Chulack. It originally aired on Showtime on April 5, 2015.

The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. He spends his days drunk, high, or in search of money, while his children need to learn to take care of themselves. In the episode, Frank spends time with Bianca in Costa Rica, while Ian leaves with Monica. The episode marked the final appearance of Emily Bergl in the series.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.55 million household viewers and gained a 0.7 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, although some questioned the closure of Ian and Mickey's storyline.
