Songfacts®:

• This song is a cover of Sugar Billy's "Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' on Me)." Originally released in 1975, the original remained an obscure collector's cut until 2003, when 16-year-old Joss Stone recorded it for her debut album, The Soul Sessions. Stone changed the lyrics so she's addressing a man instead of a woman, with the British singer questioning her lover's sense of commitment.
• R&B legend Betty Wright produced and lent her backing vocals to this song. "Super Duper Love" also boasts guitarist Willie "Little Beaver" Hale, the piano talents of Blues Hall of Fame inductee Latimore, and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana. The organ line was performed by Timmy Thomas, best known for his hit song "Why Can't We Live Together."
  
  In an interview with MTV in 2003, Stone discussed working with such an iconic lineup: "I kind of walked in, just like this little girl, and started singing. I felt a bit weird about the whole thing because, 'Should I be here?' I have no experience, I don't know what I'm doing. But it was cool because they made me feel really comfortable. They're not intimidating at all. They're not pretentious, they're just really nice people."
• Sugar Billy based the original version of this song around an interpolation of Aretha Franklin's 1968 cover of "Groovin'" by The Young Rascals.
• The music video shows Stone frolicking on a beach and cruising on a motorbike through a cityscape while surrounded by a vibrant kaleidoscope of cutouts. The clip was directed by David LaChapelle, an acclaimed filmmaker and photographer also behind videos for pop legends including Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.
• On July 2, 2005, Stone performed this song at Live 8 in Hyde Park, London, where she also sang The Soul Sessions cuts "I Had a Dream" and "Some Kind of Wonderful." Stone took to the stage barefoot, which had become part of her signature free-spirited style. "I love shoes and I think they're sexy and gorgeous, but they hurt and you fall over a lot," Stone confessed to Irish Examiner in 2007. "I'm totally clumsy, especially when I'm on stage because you gotta get into it and sometimes your whole body is involved so you can't trust yourself to stay standing."
• This song appears in the 2004 romantic comedy film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. It plays after Bridget (Renée Zellweger) emerges following a night of passion with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). "Super Duper Love" also appears in the 2004 episode "The Benign Prerogative" of the political drama series The West Wing.
• "Super Duper Love" was the second single released from The Soul Sessions after Stone's cover of "Fell in Love With a Girl" by The White Stripes. It reached #18 in the UK. While the song failed to chart in the US, The Soul Sessions found an audience in the States, earning Gold certification on March 29, 2004, six months after its release.
