"Love the Way You Lie" is the second single from American rapper Eminem's seventh studio album Recovery. Singer Skylar Grey was inspired to write and record the demo with Alex da Kid when she felt she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote the verses and chose Barbadian singer Rihanna to sing the chorus; their past experiences of domestic violence influenced the collaboration. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan, and Dublin, Ireland. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, the track is a midtempo hip hop ballad with a pop refrain and describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in an abusive love–hate relationship.

Interscope Records released the single in August 2010. Critics praised its melody but were divided on thematic aspects such as poignancy and accuracy. Eminem promoted the song with performances at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the MTV Video Music Awards and festivals. The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, stars Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a violent relationship and shows Eminem and Rihanna in front of a burning house. The clip had a mixed reception due to scenes of domestic violence. Critics suggested that the song and its accompanying video were influenced by Eminem's and Rihanna's respective relationships with ex-lovers Kimberly Scott and Chris Brown.

Magazines listed "Love the Way You Lie" among the best of 2010 and of Eminem's work. The song won awards and received five Grammy nominations. His best-selling single, it was number one on 26 weekly record charts, including the United States' Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks. The single sold more than 5 million copies in the US and was the best-selling song of 2010 in the United Kingdom. Musical acts such as Cher Lloyd and The Band Perry performed cover versions. Rihanna has said that a theme of domestic violence, a topic on which she claims many people do not have insight, is what makes the song effective. She later recorded "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", narrated mostly from the female perspective.

Writing and production [edit]

Rihanna's approval of the song's topic ultimately influenced her decision to work with Eminem.

Development of "Love the Way You Lie" began with the backing track and hook melody, which were created by British hip hop producer Alex da Kid.[1] He spent hours making loops and produced an electronic drum rhythm before adding live instrumentation. The drums were sampled from live recordings he had saved.[2] Alex da Kid recorded an acoustic guitar for the verses with a Georg Neumann U87 microphone and an Avid Mbox audio interface. He told Sound on Sound magazine that this song had given him an opportunity to reintroduce live guitar in hip hop music.[2] During the session, he used Waves RVerb and REQ equalization on his main kick track and a MaxxBass plug-in on two others.[1]

Writing began in late 2009, when American singer Holly Brook Hafermann resided at the Artula Retreat in Bandon, Oregon, and composed songs.[3] Later in New York, under her new stage name Skylar Grey, she visited her Universal Music publisher Jennifer Blakeman in seek of help presenting her work;[4][5] Blakeman suggested she collaborate with Alex da Kid.[5] The producer emailed Grey his recording, which suggested a theme of abusive romantic relationships to her as she spontaneously sang lyrics to the melody.[6] She told the Los Angeles Times that she was in an abusive relationship with the music industry: "I love it so much, and I give it all that I have, yet it beats me down."[7] This idea inspired her writing, a process she found came naturally, as if she were creating an alternative pop song for herself.[8] She wrote the chorus to "Love the Way You Lie" in fifteen minutes and recorded vocals for Alex da Kid's demo.[5][9]

In early 2010, Alex da Kid offered the Shady Records Senior Director Rigo "Riggs" Morales some backing tracks.[10] Morales enjoyed the tracks and sent them to Eminem, who was seeking a different musical approach for his seventh studio album Recovery.[10] Acknowledging Alex da Kid, Eminem asked for more tracks and subsequently heard "Love the Way You Lie". He chose it and told his manager Paul Rosenberg he wanted to collaborate with Barbadian singer Rihanna.[10] Eminem told Skyrock FM, "It's one of those tracks that I felt like only she could pull it off."[11] Rosenberg sent the track to Rihanna, who accepted Eminem's request "at the last moment."[10] Eminem then wrote the rapped verses.[9]

Rihanna said she joined the collaboration because she could relate to the theme of the song, as she and Eminem had experienced domestic violence on "different ends of the table".[12][13] Eminem and his ex-wife Kimberly Scott had been in a difficult relationship, having divorced in 2001 and again in 2006 after a remarriage.[14] In February 2009, Rihanna's relationship with American singer Chris Brown had ended following his felony assault on her.[15] She described "Love the Way You Lie" as unique, realistic and deep, saying it "broke down the cycle of domestic violence" because few people had insight on the topic.[12][13][16]

Recording [edit]

Mike Strange recorded and mixed Eminem's vocals at Effigy Studios in Ferndale, Michigan.[17] The sessions took two days.[18] Strange edited the vocals with D-Verb—a reverberation software—and an Extra Long Delay plug-in.[1] He preferred to make few changes; for "Love the Way You Lie" he almost exclusively used board compression and console equalization. Strange used the Bricasti and Eventide Reverb 2016 mixing tools for "brighter" reverberation.[1] Detroit musician Luis Resto contributes to the arrangement on most of Eminem's songs, but did not do so for "Love the Way You Lie".[1] According to Strange, "Everything we needed was already in the track, apart from the vocals."[1] Two to three weeks after the sessions, Alex da Kid arrived to help mix and master the track.[10] He wanted to replace the acoustic guitar on the demo, but Eminem chose to keep it.[2] Strange said, "It was simply a matter of trying to match and then to improve on the demo [Alex da Kid]'d sent us."[1] His brother Joe engineered the track.[17]

Rihanna's recording sessions were at Sun Studios in Dublin, Ireland. Marcos Tovar mixed her vocals, engineered by Spike Lindsey and mastered from Detroit over the Internet.[10][17] American songwriter Makeba Riddick provided additional vocal production.[17] Strange used equalization, compression and reverberation but left the vocal balance.[1] He assumed that Rihanna was satisfied with her recorded vocals and did not make major changes on her seven stereo vocal tracks.[1]

Composition [edit]

"Love the Way You Lie" is a midtempo hip hop ballad.[8][19][20] The lyrics describe a couple's refusal to separate despite having an abusive relationship.[21] According to the sheet music from Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is in the key of G minor with a 4/4 time signature and a tempo of 84 beats per minute.[22] The vocal range spans from B♭3 to D5.[22] "Love the Way You Lie" opens as Rihanna sings the pop refrain over a piano:[23][24]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie.[21]

The refrain is based on a Gm–E♭(add2)–B♭–F/A chord progression.[22] Fraser McAlphine of BBC wrote that Rihanna feels confined "in a cell of [her] own creation".[21] She sings without vibrato,[25] a pulsating musical effect used to add expression.[26] One commentator, The New York Times' David Brownie, said that despite this, her voice subtly shows grief and regret.[25] Eminem then "zap[s] into" the rap:[24] "I can't tell you what it really is/ I can only tell you what it feels like."[23] The verses follow a Gm–E♭(add2)B♭–Fsus/A chord progression.[22] Eminem regrets an end to an abusive, failed relationship, describing mutual violence and expressing both fondness and anger.[27][28] The two artists' characters are portrayed in a romantic relationship when he responds to Rihanna by concluding the verse: "I laid hands on her. I'll never stoop so low again/ I guess I don't know my own strength."[21] Rihanna sings the chorus again, backed by an electric guitar and a piano.[2][24]

Acoustic guitar, violin and pounding drums accompany Eminem's verses.[2][29] The lyrics transition from discussing positive aspects of love to describing violent events.[28] Eminem raps, "It's the rage that took over, it controls you both, so they say it's best to go your separate ways. Guess that they don't know ya, cause today that was yesterday."[30] Sady Doyle of The Atlantic interpreted these lyrics as the rapper's confession to having abused Scott, as he "turns the anger and accusations toward himself".[30] In the second verse, Eminem accepts the outcome after feeling sorry, as he admits, "Yesterday is over, it's a different day."[27] His frustration increases and he raps that two personalities can clash and devastate: "maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano".[21][23] The described love–hate relationship worsens and leads to domestic violence.[31] Eminem admits to lying about promises he makes and says late in the song, "If she ever tries to fuckin' leave me again, I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire", a reference to Rihanna's lyrics.[28]

Release and response [edit]

On May 27, 2010, Eminem revealed "Love the Way You Lie" with the other tracks on Recovery,[32] which came out on June 21, 2010.[33] Initially a radio single,[34] it was released later by Polydor Records as a CD in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2010.[35] Interscope Records distributed it in the United States on August 17 and three days later in Germany.[36][37]

"Love the Way You Lie" received generally favorable reviews. An editor for Rap-Up listed it among the four best tracks from the album.[38] New York Times writer Jon Caramanica considered it "one of the album's most engaging songs" and praised Eminem's ability to assess issues from the perspectives of both sexes.[39] MTV's Rodriguez wrote that the song echoes content from Eminem's earlier albums, but finds him "sober" and "more mature".[40] He said the lyrics allude to Eminem's relationship with Scott and that "Love the Way You Lie" is his closest approach to a love song.[27] Editors of The A.V. Club compared the single with two earlier songs by Eminem that refer to Scott—"Kim" and "'97 Bonnie & Clyde"; they found he is more tempered in "Love the Way You Lie" when discussing a "mutually destructive relationship" and that Rihanna's involvement creates an eerie mood.[41]

Critics especially praised Rihanna's contribution. Michael Menachem of Billboard complimented her "exquisitely melodic and surprisingly hopeful" vocal performance and "Eminem's dark, introspective" rapping.[19] He noted that the percussion compliments both artists and that Alex da Kid gave the classical arrangement a mainstream touch.[19] Kyle Anderson, writing for MTV, said the song showcases Rihanna's emotional vocals and Eminem's "most intense rhymes about his tumultuous relationships".[42] He regarded "Love the Way You Lie" as an honest, "well-constructed pop song with a killer hook" and likened the "slow-burning" music to that of "Someone Like You", a 2011 single by British singer Adele.[42][43] Houston Chronicle pop critic Joey Guerra said Rihanna brought a "sandpaper and silk sheen" to the track.[44]

Themes [edit]

Many critics believed the song was about Rihanna's past relationship with Chris Brown.

Critics and experts have both commented on the message in the lyrics. Anderson noted a dark theme,[42] while Nick Levine of Digital Spy, Allie Townsend of Time magazine, and Jocelyn Noveck of The Associated Press suggested the previous relationships of both artists influenced the song.[28][45][46] Levine gave it four stars out of five.[45] According to Eric Hayden of The Atlantic Wire, the song refers to an alcoholic couple, possibly inspired by Rihanna's relationship with Brown.[47] McAlphine awarded "Love the Way You Lie" four stars out of five.[21] According to him, the song would not have been effective if it had featured only Eminem's point of view and feelings of regret; he said Rihanna's representing the opposite side of the relationship shows "proper storytelling" and "sends a message" because of her breakup with Brown.[21] McAlphine wrote that as a result the song depicts a more realistic abusive relationship and could be featured in a campaign for women's shelters. He praised Eminem's accuracy and understanding of the topic.[21] Winston Robbins from the music website Consequence of Sound attributed the song's poignancy to Rihanna's past abusive relationship and a theme of infidelity and abuse.[48]

On the critical side, The Daily Telegraph's Jenny McCartney dismissed the metaphors in the chorus and thought that the song's topic was over-hyped.[49] She disagreed with the critical praise, arguing that women accept abusive relationships for deeper reasons than sexual and emotional pleasure, such as family and financial issues and helplessness.[49] In an NPR article, writer Maura Johnston commented that the lyrics portray Rihanna as the subject of Eminem's violence.[50] Jay Smooth, a New York radio personality, responded that "while Eminem explores the psyche of the abuser with an almost disturbing amount of depth and detail," Rihanna's perspective is downplayed and not explained fully.[50] Johnston and Smooth wrote that such imbalances are a prevalent issue in popular music duets.[50] To Doyle, although "Love the Way You Lie" is one of Eminem's most affecting tracks and finds him remorseful, it does not make up for his past misogynistic actions and hateful songs.[30]

Noveck questioned whether the lyrics are "a treatise against (or apology for) domestic violence, or an irresponsible glorification of it? Or, is it something uncomfortable in between?"[28] Marjorie Gilberg, executive director of anti-teenage violence group Break the Cycle, commented that "Love the Way You Lie" can teach listeners about the dangers of abusive relationships if interpreted correctly. He believed that because popular culture often depicts what is socially acceptable, people may accept such violence more easily. He added, "One problem, though, ... is that the song reflects myths about domestic violence—myths that lead to blaming the victim."[28] Gilberg said the victim is often accused of being as guilty as the partner but wants to be loved, not abused.[28]

Recognition [edit]

"Love the Way You Lie" ranked in various best-of-2010 lists. Claire Suddath of Time placed it at number five on her top-10 list and wrote, "That this song didn't come across sounding clichéd or tasteless is a testament to both artists' skill."[23] AOL Radio considered the song the best of 2010 hip hop music, regarding Eminem as imaginative and passionate.[51] It ranked ninth on MTV News' top-25 list.[52] Editor James Montgomery attributed the song's success to its theme and relation to the artists' past abusive relationships.[52] He concluded, "You cannot write a song any better than that, because that's how this kind of thing happens in real life."[52] New York Post placed the song at second place on their "top 210 songs from 2010" list and regarded it as a "comeback club anthem."[53] In April 2011, Gabriel Alvarez of Complex magazine ranked it at number 100 on their "100 Best Eminem Songs" list, calling it is a love song and praising Rihanna's vocals as beautiful.[54]

Chart performance and sales [edit]

"Love the Way You Lie" reached number one on singles charts worldwide.[55] It entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number two in the July 10, 2010 issue.[56] The single debuted at number one on the US Digital Songs after selling 338,000 digital copies in its first week.[34] From July 31 to September 11, 2010, it had a seven-week run at the top of the Hot 100, giving Eminem his fourth, and Rihanna her seventh, number-one United States hit.[57][58] In its fourth consecutive week, "Love the Way You Lie" rose from number thirteen to number eight on the Billboard Pop Songs chart, on which it was Eminem's ninth and Rihanna's fifteenth top-10 song.[59] The single sold more than 300,000 digital copies in the week of August 14, 2010, rising to number two on the Pop Songs and Radio Songs charts.[60] The song claimed Billboard's "Airplay Gainer" honor for five consecutive weeks.[60] In the Billboard issue for August 21, 2010, Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems recognized the single with the BDS Certified Award for 50,000 radio spins.[61] It topped the Pop Songs chart in the same issue,[62] giving Eminem his third number-one track on the chart and tying Rihanna with Mariah Carey, Beyoncé Knowles and Lady Gaga for the most Pop Songs chart-toppers with six.[63] "Love the Way You Lie" was the first number-one hit on the Rap Songs chart with Eminem as the lead artist since his 2000 single "The Real Slim Shady".[64] In the Digital Songs chart for August 28, 2010, it regained the top position with weekly sales of 254,000 copies.[65]

By the end of the year, 854,000 copies were sold in the United Kingdom, making "Love the Way You Lie" the country's biggest-selling song of 2010.[66] In October 2011, it became the 109th song to reach one million sales there.[67] By November 2012, it sold 1.05 million copies in the UK, placing at number 100 on the Official Charts Company's "The Million Sellers" list.[68] With sales of 4,245,000 copies, "Love the Way You Lie" was the third-best-selling single of 2010 in the United States.[69] It was South Korea's third-best-selling song in 2010 by a foreign artist, with 1,200,653 downloads.[70] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, it sold 9.3 million copies worldwide in 2010.[71] A of May 2013 Love the way you lie has sold 5,879,000 digital copies.[72] Four months later, it was certified as Eminem's best-selling single.[73] In May 2013, Billboard announced that it has started to incorporate on-demand streams towards its calculations for certifying awards for singles. Due to this, "Love the Way You Lie" was re-certified 11× Platinum in the US.[74]

Music video [edit]

Production [edit]

The video stars actress Megan Fox who, according to director Joseph Kahn, helped the video have a strong impact.

The music video for "Love the Way You Lie" was Eminem's third to be directed by American filmmaker Joseph Kahn.[75] Despite having planned to shoot a feature film and stop directing pop videos, Kahn chose to work on "Love the Way You Lie" because, according to him, the song discusses an important topic.[76] This was an opportunity for him to direct a video for Eminem without the comedic themes of their previous collaborations.[77] For the video, Kahn considered English actor Dominic Monaghan as a co-star for his versatility, which he thought would help him play an antagonist.[78] Kahn cast American actress Megan Fox, which he had presumed would be almost impossible because of her popularity with directors.[77] Fox, a fan, accepted the role unhesitatingly.[77]

Rosenberg gave Kahn one day to write a treatment, which Kahn finished in 45 minutes.[77] He filmed Eminem's and Rihanna's parts on July 20, 2010;[79] scenes with Fox and Monaghan were shot three days later.[80] By July 24, 2010, they had finished the shoot.[81] Kahn confirmed the completion of the director's cut the next day.[79] He said Fox's involvement increased the video's impact,[77] commenting for Vibe:

We wanted to make a specific story about two people—Meg and Dom—not a video that was representative of all couples or all domestic violence situations. I'm not saying that all couples fight this way. I just want people just to be able to identify with the characters and recognize that they've seen relationships like this where two people are together that are completely wrong for each other and things spiral out of control. ... Megan was the key to this video. ... I'll tell you as a director the reason why [Fox and Monaghan's] scenes in the video feel so real is because in the moment they were real.[77]

The clip was produced by Kathy Angstadt and Maryann Tanedo of HSI Productions.[82] Shortly before its release, Eminem reported in a press statement: "Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right".[83] He said the difficult topic resulted in a powerful video because of the contributions of Rihanna, Fox and Monaghan.[83] Fox donated her appearance fee to the Soujourn House, a battered women's shelter.[84] On August 5, 2010, the video premiered on MTV and music video website Vevo.[79][85]

Synopsis [edit]

Rihanna and Eminem are standing in front of a burning house in a dark setting.
A video still in which Eminem and Rihanna stand in front of a fenced house lit aflame. The scene illustrates the lyric "I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire."[28]

Rihanna sings the chorus in front of a burning house, while an interspersing scene shows fire on a woman's (Fox) palms. In another scene, the woman is asleep with her lover (Monaghan) and wakes up. Eminem begins to rap in an open field. The woman attacks her lover after seeing the name "Cindy" and a phone number written on his hand.[86] He unsuccessfully tries to kiss the woman and brings her back after she attempts to leave him. The man pushes her onto the wall and aims his fist at her, puncturing the wall instead. After Rihanna sings again, the video flashes back to when the couple first meet "at a seedy dive bar next door" to a liquor store.[80][86] The man steals a bottle of vodka and they kiss on the rooftop.[87]

During the present, the man apologizes to his lover and later drinks liquor, as they are reconciled. In another flashback, he attacks someone who plays pool with his lover.[86] Once the video shifts back to the present, Eminem joins Rihanna in front of the burning house for the final verse. Meanwhile, the woman comes home and locks herself in the bathroom to stop her abusive lover from coming. In another scene, she closes her hands to extinguish the fire inside. Flames later engulf Eminem and the couple,[88] who are then shown fighting in front of the burning house. In the end, the couple stay together and the video returns to their first scene, in which they sleep.[86][89]

Reception [edit]

"It's the story of them getting to know each other, and it's the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship. Ultimately, what I think [Eminem]'s trying to say in the song ... is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did."

—Monaghan's interpretation of "Love the Way You Lie"[90]

The video broke what was a YouTube record at the time of its release for the most hits in one day, with 6.6 million.[91] The video had a mixed reception from critics, most of whom commented on scenes of domestic violence.[92] NPR's Zoe Chace deemed the video sickening,[93] while AOL Music listed it at number five on their list of the "Top 10 Most Controversial Music Videos in Pop".[92] According to Hollie McKay of Fox News and Stephanie Nilva—the executive director of trauma resource center Day One—it mainly raises "the topic of dating violence among young people".[90][94] Nilva praised the clip for accurate depiction of patterns in an abusive relationship and thought its potency came from Eminem's history of violence-themed songs and Brown's assault on Rihanna.[90]

A writer for Rap-Up considered the video realistic, as "art imitates life".[95] Conor Friedersdorf of The Atlantic called it an inaccurate portrayal of domestic violence due to romanticization and insufficient violence, such as the lack of injuries after punching through a wall.[96] Mariel Concepcion of Billboard said it focuses on the risks of domestic violence, which she thought should be avoided before it is late.[85] Rihanna's appearance was criticized. Writing for Rolling Stone magazine, Daniel Kreps called it "especially striking", noting her relationship with Brown.[97] An editor from The Boston Globe commented that although the video is realistic, it hinders Rihanna's ability to set an example for women in abusive relationships.[89] President Terry O'Neill of the National Organization for Women said that she unintentionally glorifies domestic violence.[98]

Brittany Talarico of OK! magazine saw the video's message as significant to both artists.[87] Billy Johnson Jr. from Yahoo! Music wrote that Fox's character alternated between vulnerable and confrontational personalities, while Monaghan's character is similar to Eminem.[99] Monaghan told MTV he thought the couple represents Eminem and Scott.[16] Kahn, who understood why viewers thought Eminem's and Rihanna's relationships influenced the video, asked that they realize this is untrue. He said the team had been conscious of such personal matters and Fox's and Monaghan's characters are only significant to each other.[100]

Reviewers discussed the acting. Peter Gicas of E! News noted that Fox and Monaghan portray "combustible behavior the tune is hellbent on describing."[101] The Wall Street Journal critic Jozen Cummings wrote that the involvement of the film stars made the video more appropriate "for the big screen than the TV screen".[88] New York Post's Jarett Wieselman wrote that they play their roles perfectly and helped make the video powerful.[102] Entertainment Weekly's Whitney Pastorek found the violent acting sexually appealing,[103] while Willa Paskin of New York magazine said the cast's appeal "hypnotize[s]" viewers.[104] Paskin noted the use of sepia toning in the burning-house scenes.[104] Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio commented that the video leaves viewers to decide "if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the pair always end up reconciling."[105] Mikey Fresh of Vibe said that Fox's natural reaction when Monaghan pierces the wall and almost hits her is an "incredible act of vulnerability".[77] L Magazine's Benjamin Sutton likened the scene in which the characters burn to Chris Bradley, whom Monaghan portrayed in the 2009 action film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.[106]

On June 15, 2010, Eminem and Rihanna performed "Love the Way You Lie" at Los Angeles' Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010, accompanied by drummer Travis Barker and D12 member Mr. Porter.[107] Eminem sang "Love the Way You Lie" at the T in the Park festival on July 10, 2010 in Scotland, dedicating it to "everybody who'[d] been in a fucked-up relationship."[108] Eminem then performed the song at Ireland's annual Oxegen festival on July 11, 2010.[109] James Hendicott from State wrote that the rapper's personality "fill[ed] the stage", as his vocals were sharp and packed "plenty of punch".[110] He criticized the use of a pre-recorded backing track and noted a lack of live music and female vocals.[110] Eamon Sweeney from Irish Independent called the show only "mildly impressive".[111]

On July 21, 2010, the rapper joined Rihanna on her Last Girl on Earth Tour to perform at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.[112] He next performed at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and was voted the best performer of the ceremony in an MTV poll, earning 34 percent of votes.[113][114] Rihanna made a surprise appearance after having said that she could not perform because of her schedule.[115] Suddath of Time called their duet dull.[116] Eminem sang "Love the Way You Lie" without Rihanna at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music Festival for almost 80,000 people.[117][118] According to MTV News' Montgomery, the "sheer tenacity with which he attacked" was his strength.[117] Patrick Doyle of Rolling Stone felt Eminem delivered a triumphal act by "constantly bouncing across the stage" and singing energetically.[119]

The rapper performed "Love the Way You Lie" on the second day of Chicago's annual Lollapalooza festival on August 6, 2011, once again accompanied only by Porter.[120] Piet Levy of USA Today newspaper named the show a "tragic stunner", while members of the audience sang the chorus to compensate for Rihanna's absence.[120][121] Katie Hasty of HitFix added that it displayed competition between sexes.[122] On August 20, 2011, Eminem and Rihanna performed the song in Staffordshire on the first day of V2011 (V Festival).[123] James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph considered it an "affecting" rendition.[124] The Guardian called their performance thrilling and an editor from British newspaper Metro felt that it was the best part of the evening.[125][126] Eminem closed the festival on the night of August 21 in Chelmsford, Essex, for an audience of 120,000.[127] A reporter for International Business Times thought that Eminem's duet with Rihanna highlighted the evening's show.[128]

Cover versions [edit]

Multiple musical acts have performed cover versions of "Love the Way You Lie". Country music group The Band Perry sang the song at the June 2010 CMT Music Awards.[129] Two months later, Taylor Momsen—lead singer of American rock band The Pretty Reckless—performed a cover version for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge as part of a mashup with the song "Islands" by English pop band The xx.[130] Assisted by a guitarist from her band, she began with a section of "Islands" and transitioned into the chorus of "Love the Way You Lie".[130]

British musician Cher Lloyd performed the song in the final five of The X Factor UK's seventh season.[131][132] A writer from The Sun called the performance "stripped-back" and "without any of her usual stage gimmicks."[133] Mernie Gilmore of Daily Express commented that the song is "a duet for a reason" as Lloyd performed both Eminem's and Rihanna's parts.[131] In 2010, Russian guitarist Alex Feather Akimov released "Love The Way You Lie (Heavy Remix)", a recording that was recognized by Billboard.biz (Web Trends).[134] American post-hardcore band A Skylit Drive recorded a cover of the single for Punk Goes Pop 4, the 2011 release of the Punk Goes... series.[135]

On November 3, 2010, an alternate version titled "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" leaked onto the Internet.[136] Rihanna is the lead vocalist and Eminem is a featured guest. The song mainly views matters from the female perspective and is based on Grey's demo.[7][137] Rihanna agreed to record a sequel after initially thinking "the original couldn't be beaten".[138] She said that the sequel involved less production, with only piano and drums.[138] It is the eleventh and final track on her 2010 studio album Loud.[139] Grey's version appears on her extended play The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey, released on January 17, 2012.[140]

The song peaked at number 19 on the Canadian Hot 100.[141] Rihanna performed a short medley that comprised "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", "What's My Name?" and "Only Girl (In the World)" at the American Music Awards of 2010.[142] Another medley, consisting of "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" and "I Need a Doctor", was performed at the 53rd Grammy Awards.[143] While Chicago Sun-Times considered the track an unnecessary sequel,[144] BBC reviewer James Skinner wrote, "'Love the Way You Lie (Part II)' even bests the original, Eminem's verse exuding the kind of volatile, simmering menace that got everyone so excited about him in the first place. But it is Rihanna's vocal—at once commanding, soulful and vulnerable—that anchors the song".[145]
