"Let Me Love You" is a song by American singer Mario, released by J Records on October 4, 2004 as the lead single from his second studio album, Turning Point (2004). The song was written by then-unknown American singer Ne-Yo, Kameron Houff, and Scott Storch, while production was handled by the latter. The song garnered Mario a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2006 and peaked atop five international music charts: the Billboard Hot 100, Canada's Radio & Records, Official German Charts, Dutch Top 40, and Recorded Music NZ.
In 2008, "Let Me Love You" ranked number 45 on Billboard's All-Time Top 100 Hot 100 singles, during the first 50 years of the chart.[3] It was the eighth most successful single of the decade according to the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade chart released in December 2009.[4] In 2013, it was ranked at number 53 on Billboard's All-Time Top 100 Hot 100 singles during the first 55 years of the chart.[5] The remix of the song, also produced by Storch, contains rapped verses from Jadakiss and T.I.
"Let Me Love You" is considered to be Mario's signature song, as well as a prominent track in 2000s R&B music.[6][7][8]
