About Love Like This

"Love Like This" is a song by American recording artist 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. Built around a looped sample from "Chic Cheer," performed by American disco group Chic and penned by band members Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, the song initially impacted US radios on September 15, 1998 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 Billboard Hot 100 chart, 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). The song was nominated for Best Female R&B Performance at the 1999 Grammy Awards ceremony, "Love Like This," in turn, was later heavily sampled on American rapper Fatman Scoop's "Be Faithful". more »
