Songfacts®:

• "Me Love" is the second single from Sean Kingston, following his #1 hit "Beautiful Girls." Both songs use samples rather aggressively - "Beautiful Girls" lifts much of the 1961 classic "Stand By Me," and "Me Love" grabs from Led Zeppelin's cod reggae track "D'yer Maker" from their 1973 album Houses Of The Holy.
  
  Led Zeppelin doesn't approve many sampling requests, but here are a few others:
  
  "Rhymin & Stealin" by Beastie Boys (1986) uses "When The Levee Breaks"
  "Puss N' Boots / These Boots (Are Made For Walking)" by Kon Kan (1989) uses "Good Times, Bad Times."
  "Come With Me" by Puff Daddy (1998) uses "Kashmir"
• Like "Beautiful Girls," "Me Love" is an upbeat-sounding song with a sad lyric about heartbreak. It finds Kingston, 17 when the song was released, longing for his ex. It's likely the same girl he's singing about in both songs - Kingston explained that he went out for a girl for three years before she cut him loose.
• The song was produced by J.R. Rotem, who was also Kingston's label boss at Beluga Heights Records. Rotem later signed Jason Derulo to the label.
• This song is a good example of the reggae sound Kingston utilized. He was born in Florida but spent a lot of time in Jamaica as a kid and was influenced by that music and culture.
• "Me Love" wasn't nearly as successful as "Beautiful Girls," but it did climb to #14, giving Kingston a solid follow-up hit. He stayed on the charts a few more years before his sound fell out of favor. In 2024 he was arrested for wire fraud and landed in jail.
• The music video starts with Kingston pulling up the song on a LG Chocolate phone, a cutting edge phone that could also store music that was soon rendered obsolete by the iPhone. As in the "Beautiful Girls" video, Kingston is smiling and having a good time while singing about heartbreak.
