Love (Kendrick Lamar song)

"Love" (stylized as "LOVE.") is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar featuring American singer Zacari, taken from the former's fourth studio album Damn (2017). It was released to US rhythmic contemporary radio by Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records on October 2, 2017, as the third and final single from the album. Lamar and Zacari wrote the song with its producers Teddy Walton, Sounwave, Greg Kurstin, and Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith.

Titled after the emotion it addresses, "Love" is a ballad that finds Lamar expressing his unconditional love for his significant other. Its lyricism incorporates a fragmented stream of consciousness, inside jokes and nostalgic experiences. Musically, it is a 1980s-inspired pop rap and new-age song that features delicate synthesizers and thundering trap drum beats in its vast production. The track was complimented by music critics for its intimate songwriting, catchiness and comforting tone, although some found it to be lackluster and out of place on Damn.

"Love" peaked within the top 40 of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay charts. An accompanying music video for "Love", directed by Dave Meyers and the Little Homies, was released on December 21, 2017. The song has been certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Lamar has performed "Love" on three of his concert tours: the Damn Tour (2017–2018), the Championship Tour (2018), and the Big Steppers Tour (2022–2023).
