Critical reception Ĭlover Hope of The Muse said the song was "one of the best songs on DAMN." A positive review from Christopher Hooton of The Independent described singer Zacari's hook as very catchy and the production from Greg Kurstin (known for Sia's " Chandelier" and Adele's " Hello") as "on point", but tonally described the song as feeling at odds with the rest of the album. The song has a tempo of 126 BPM and is in the key of F major. This is at least one possible interpretation, as Kendrick Lamar has not spoken on the meaning of the lyrics. Specifically, Lamar describes the intense passion he has of becoming one with someone else, not just his feelings of sexual desire and affection to her. Īccording to fan speculation, the song's lyrics describe Lamar's love and devotion to his fiancée and future mother of his children, Whitney Alford. ĭescribed by Zacari as "a whole new genre", the song is a love song where Lamar describes his devotion to his fiancée, Whitney Alford. The song features soul singer Zacari, who is one of three credited musicians on Damn, the others being Barbadian singer Rihanna on " Loyalty", and Irish rock band U2 on " XXX."

The tenth track on the album (fifth on the Collector's Edition of Damn), the song was written by Lamar, Zacari Pacaldo, Teddy Walton, Sounwave, Greg Kurstin, and Anthony Tiffith, and produced by the latter four. " Love" (stylized as " LOVE.") is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, from his fourth studio album Damn, released on April 14, 2017.
