"Love Like This" is a song by American singer Faith Evans. It was written by Evans, Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Clarence Emery, and Schon Crawford for her second studio album Keep the Faith (1998), with production helmed by Lawrence and Combs. The song is built around a looped sample from "Chic Cheer" (1978) by American band Chic. Due to the inclusion of the sample, band members Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers are also credited as songwriters.^[1] "Love Like This" was released as the album's lead single.

Commercially, "Love Like This" became one of Evans's biggest successes: It charted within the top forty in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking her highest-charting solo single to date. On the component Hot R&B Singles & Tracks chart, the song reached number 2; it was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Also a critical success, the song was nominated for Best Female R&B Performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards ceremony, "Love Like This", in turn, was later heavily sampled on American rapper Fatman Scoop's "Be Faithful".^[2]
