"Love
On Top" is a song recorded by American Singer Beyoncé for her fourth studio album 4 (2011). Inspired from her state of mind while playing Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic Cadillac Records,
Beyoncé wrote the song alongside Terius Nash,
Belle Nuru, and Shea Taylor;
its production was handled by Taylor and Beyoncé. A throw-back to 1980s music,
the uptempo R&B song exhibits style similar to that of Stevie Wonder,
Whitney Houston and The Jackson 5,
among others. While incorporating four key changes, Beyoncé adopts a high range when repeating the song's chorus towards the end of the song. She sings about a man whom she can always call,
even after facing grief and hard work, finally earning his love and respect.
The song's musical composition,
as well as Beyoncé's vocals and versatility, positively surprised critics. Beyoncé
sang "Love On Top" live at 2011 MTV Video Music Awards,
announcing her pregnancy at the end of her performance. This caused the upsurge of the
song on several charts worldwide. It reached the top ten in Hungary and South
Korea, and the top twenty in Australia, Italy, New Zealand and the United
Kingdom. It also debuted at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the second highest debut of Beyoncé's career as a
solo artist. "Love On Top" remained at number one on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for seven
consecutive weeks, and has sold over one million copies. At the 55th
Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won her 17th
Grammy Award with Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Love On Top".
Honey,
honey
I can see the stars all the way from here
Can't you see the glow on the window pane?
I can feel the sun whenever you're near
Every time you touch me I just melt away
Now everybody ask me why I'm smiling up
From ear to ear
(They say that love hurts)
But I know
(It's gonna take the real work)
Nothing's perfect but it's worth it
After fighting through my tears
And finally you put me first
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need you, you make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Huum come on baby
You put my love on top top top top
You put my love on top... huum come on baby
You put my love on top top top top
Top you put my love on top (you put my love on top)
Baby, baby
I can hear the wind whipping pass my face
As we danced the night away
Boy your lips taste like the night of champagne
As I kiss you again, and again, and again, and again
Now everybody ask me why I'm smiling up
From ear to ear
They say that love hurts, but I know
It's gonna take the real work
Nothing's perfect but it's worth it
After fighting through my tears
And finally you put me 1st
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need you, make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Huum baby
You put my love on top top top top
You put my love on top... huum come on baby
You put my love on top top top top
Top you put my love on top
(you put my love on top)
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need you, make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need you, make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need you, make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Baby it's you, you're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Baby baby baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
