AboutSong Bio1 contributor

“Loveeeeeee Song” is the first collaboration between Rihanna and trap-rapper Future. The track was released as the fourth single from her seventh studio album Unapologetic on April 3, 2013, peaking at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during March of that year.

Co-producer Luney Tunez discussed the track’s creation during an interview with Complex:

that was one of the beats I really don’t like. It wasn’t one of my favorites. When I made it, I was in the mindset of being real, melodic, laid back, and sexy.

Future also gave insight to his contribution to the song during an interview with MTV News:

It was a record that I didn’t spend that much time on either. Less thought, [so] it was more natural.

“Loveeeeeee Song” eventually became certified platinum by the RIAA on October 12, 2016.

Future:

It was ‘Love and Affection’ [originally]. Jay-Z heard it and felt like he wanted to be a part of it and named it with the seven E’s at the end. It was amazing.
