16 . Tory Lanez - Luv
Released June 9, 2016, “Luv” slips in as the second single from Tory Lanez’s debut album *I Told You*, with production by Cashmere Cat and Benny Blanco.
It borrows from Tanto Metro and Devonte’s 1997 hit “Everyone Falls in Love,” and fits squarely into the mold of radio-ready summer wistfulness with a twist of nostalgia.
The video, co-directed by Lanez and Zac Facts, lands a couple weeks later on June 24, fashionably timed.
Chart-wise, it squeaks onto the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 96 and manages to climb to 19, keeping a seat warm for 22 weeks—Lanez’s first top 20 bow.
North of the border, “Luv” repeats the number 96 debut on the Canadian Hot 100, climbs to 28, and does a 20-week run before going platinum via Music Canada’s 80,000-unit bar.
A remix featuring Sean Paul drops October 7, 2016, because no track borrowing dancehall cred is complete without him; German rapper Bonez MC gets in on a separate one.
At the 59th Grammy Awards, it manages a nod for Best R&B Song—up against friendlier favorites but still in the room.
Credit roll includes Lanez (under his real name Daystar Peterson), Cashmere Cat, Benny Blanco, and a cluster of writers from the ’97 original, with Sean Paul and Carlton Grant tagging along.
