"LOVE LOVE LOVE" is an unreleased song by ¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign) that was created during the YEBU sessions.

Production[]

The song samples Danny Hathaway's 1973 song, "Love, Love, Love". It is also named after Danny's song.[1]

Background[]

The initial version of the song was made in December 2022, specifically during the same sessions as "Someday We'll All Be Free". According to insider Luit, the song was seen on a YEBU tracklist from the Japan sessions, listed as the eighth track.[2] Consequence also recorded reference vocals for the song.[3]

The song was not seen on any VULTURES 1 track lists until January 31, 2024, in which the song was listed as the twelfth track.[4] However, the song did not release on the album. Luit stated that the song was intended to release on VULTURES 2, but once again, it did not.

On October 29th, 2023, Kanye associate KayCyy played a song of the same name in a Discord call which had also shared the same sample and had been intended for his album, Never Been So Sure. Its unclear on if this was a further developed version of the song or completely unrelated.[5]

According to Instagram account @dondasplace, the Yeezy team made visualizers for two songs, one of which was "LOVE LOVE LOVE".[6]

Four snippets of the song were leaked, with the first being leaked on February 17, 2023. Finally, though, the song got leaked in its entirety on October 2, 2024 as a forceleak in an attempted group-buy for the song.[7] However, it was later confirmed the version leaked was not the one up for sale on the group-buy, the group-buy version of the song featuring an actual verse instead of looped lines.

On February 1st of 2025, Ty would go onto Tyga's livestream to discuss both his own solo record Tycoon and VULTURES 3. While he had never explicitly played the song unlike "DON'T KILL THE PARTY", he hummed along to the melody of the beat, heavily implying the song has been brought back for consideration for either of the albums.

Lyrics[]

[Intro: Donny Hathaway]
And that's no lie
Cross my heart and honey, I hope to die
You can't imagine what you do to me, oh, baby
You can't imagine what you do to me, oh, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
I'm too self-absorbed, like Downey
I'm too clipped and torn, don't round me
I'm too often nice, too Downey

[Chorus: Kanye West & Donny Hathaway]
Wait for us to rise in a true Somali
I'm fallin' (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin' (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin' (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin' (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
I'm too self-absorbed, like Downey
I'm too clipped and torn, don't round me
I'm too often nice, too Downey

[Chorus: Kanye West & Donny Hathaway]
Wait for us to rise in the morning
I'm fallin', the morning (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin', the morning (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin', the morning (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)
I'm fallin', the morning (Day by day I'm fallin' more in)

[Bridge: Donny Hathaway & Kanye West]
Love with you, and that's no lie
Cross my heart and honey, I hope to die
You can't imagine what you do to me, oh, baby
You can't imagine what you do to me, oh, baby
I'm fallin'
