Following a brief stint on the television sitcom Malibu Country, Reba signed a recording contract with Nash Icon Records, an imprint label of Big Machine Records. The label focused on promoting and releasing new music by veteran country recording artists. Her first album with Nash Icon was 2015's Love Somebody[1] and featured the track "Until They Don't Love You".[2] The song was written by Shane McAnally, Lori McKenna and Josh Osborne. Both McAnally and Osborne contributed to additional tracks on Love Somebody.[3] The publication Sounds Like Nashville described "Until They Don't Love You" as "a self-reflective look at regret over ending a relationship."[4] "The energy and sass of ‘Until They Don’t Love You’ mimics ‘Going Out Like That’ but takes it up another notch," Reba commented in an announcement.[2] [4]
"Until They Don't Love You" mostly received favorable reviews. In his review of Love Somebody, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic named the track an "album pick".[5] Taste of Country called the recording "an all-out jam that turns the bucket seats of any car or truck into the front row of McEntire’s concert."[6] In another review, Rolling Stone called it a "bluesy new breakup tune".[7] In a separate review, Jewly Hight of Billboard found the song to be among one of Love Somebodys unfavorable tunes, calling it an "overcooked blues-rocker".[8]
"Until They Don't Love You" was first released to radio on August 7, 2015 as the second single from Love Somebody.[2] The track had originally been released on the disc in April 2015 and was preceded by its first single titled "Going Out Like That".[3] [2] Reba promoted the single on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon also in August 2015.[4] [7] The song spent a total of nine weeks on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, peaking at number 48 in September 2015.[9] It was McEntire's third single to miss the Billboard country top 40 since 1977, with her last to reach such a position was in 2011 with "Somebody's Chelsea".[10] [9]
