"Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" |
"Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" is a song performed by American singer and songwriter Ne-Yo, taken from his fifth studio album, R.E.D. (2012). Released on July 10, 2012, by Motown Records, the song serves as the mainstream lead single from the album following the release of an R&B-tinged lead single, "Lazy Love".
"Let Me Love You" combines elements of synthpop and Europop with a celebratory chorus co-written with singer-songwriter Sia and production courtesy of Ne-Yo's frequent Norwegian collaborators Stargate and British producers Mark Hadfield and Mike Di Scala (also known as Reeva & Black). A music video directed by Christopher Simms sees Ne-Yo "channeling" Michael Jackson in his dance moves, as well as showing off a toned physique. The song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" topped the charts in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Belgium (Flanders), Japan, and the Republic of Ireland.[1]
