Love was released by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole on her debut album The Way It Is in 2005 and issued as a single in 2006, becoming one of her signature songs. Written as a vulnerable ballad about devotion despite betrayal, it reached a wide audience through radio and music television and stayed in rotation as a staple of mid-2000s R&B. Online, short excerpts resurface in nostalgic edits and social posts, where the recognisable hook instantly signals earnest romance and heartbreak without needing the full track.
