"U 2 Luv" is a song by American singer-songwriters Ne-Yo and Jeremih. It was released on May 29, 2020.[2] The song interpolates elements of two classic 1980s hits – Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" and Zapp's "Computer Love".[3] On October 23, 2020, an official remix was released, featuring rapper Lil Durk and singer Queen Naija.
The song peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Ne-Yo's first appearance on the charts since 2014's "Time of Our Lives". Eventually, the song was included on his eighth studio album, Self Explanatory (2022).
Ne-Yo described the song on Instagram, referencing the COVID-19 quarantine: "My friend Jeremih and I have created the perfect soundtrack for you and quarantine bae".[4]
The video was uploaded on August 8, 2020, directed by Chad Tennies and Caleb Seales. The visual follows Ne-Yo and his wife, Crystal Renay, as they take to the floor of a closed roller skating rink – with a cameo from comedian Jess Hilarious – while Jeremih and his girlfriend enjoy a cozy night at home.[5]
