Background
Parts of "Love More" premiered at the 2013 BET Awards, along with "Don't Think They
Know" and "Fine China".[2] MTV praised the performance stating: "Brown hit the
stage with his backup dancers in tow, sporting a black leather jacket while all the
members of his crew donned sweatshirts with a neon 'X' across them, a nod to his
upcoming July 16 album. For 'Fine China', Breezy kept it thematic, with images of
Chinese fire dragons and fire lanterns flashing across the LED screen behind him,
as he delivered his usual flawless choreography."[2]

On March 29, 2013, Brown confirmed that Minaj will appear on his upcoming album,
saying that she just gave him a "mean verse."[3] Minaj later said that the beat of
the song is very stupid and that her fans were going to love it.[4] On June 30, the
song premiered as a live performance by Brown and Minaj at the opening act of the
BET Awards 2013.[5] The name of the song was also confirmed to be "Love More".[6]
The track was planned to be released with the whole album on July 16, but, for
unknown reasons, the release was pushed back. Minaj was asked about the song and
she replied "one more week," on July 16.[7]

The song premiered on the radio station 99.1 KGGI on July 22 at 6:30 am.[8] It was
sent to Rhythmic radio on July 23, 2013.[9]

Music video
The music video was filmed on August 2, 2013 in Los Angeles, California and was
directed by Brown himself.[10] The video premiered on YouTube on August 17, 2013.
[11] It features Brown taking some of his friends to a night club in his car, when
he turns on the radio and the song starts. The music video features a cameo by Nick
Swardson as they drive shotgun.[12] At the club, Brown is seen flirting, singing
and performing synchronized dance moves with his backup dancers, while multiple
shots of Minaj are shown. The video was uploaded on Brown's Vevo channel on August
29, 2013.[13]

Critical reception
Billboard praised the single stating: "Raunchy and sure to be a club favorite,
'Love More' is the latest single off of Brown's forthcoming album, 'X'."[14]
AllHipHop also released a positive review stating: "Over a frenzied, dubstep-
inspired club beat, Nicki and Brown exchange sexual innuendos, party recaps and
their own brand of love."[15][16]
