"Love That Man"

"Love That Man" is a song by American R&B-pop singer Whitney Houston. It was written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Rob Fusari, Calvin Gaines, Eritza Laues, Bill Lee, and Balewa Muhammad for her fifth studio album Just Whitney (2002), with production helmed by Edmonds and Fusari. The song was released as the album's fourth and final single in May 2003. Commissioned as a remix single in the United States, Peter Rauhofer and The Pound Boys produced remixes of the song. "Love That Man" became Houston's 12th number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[1]

Background

"Love That Man" was written by Babyface, Rob Fusari, Calvin Gaines, Eritza Laues, Bill Lee, and Balewa Muhammad, while production was helmed by Babyface and Fusari. Commenting on his involvement with Just Whitney, Fusari said: "Arista liked my song "Love That Man," and they wanted me to produce it on Whitney’s new album [...] They flew me down to Miami to work with Whitney on this song. I ended up co-producing this song with Babyface."[2]

Critical reception

BBC Music reviewer Keysha Davids found that "Love That Man" sounds "suspiciously like an ode to her much criticised hubby. Here Whitney comes across as soulful and sincere as she ooohs and aaahs in the right places. The mid-tempo track harks back to 80s soul with its simple bass line, and unfussy production."[3] Joan Anderman of The Boston Globe panned the single with "stands by her bad boy."[4]
