"Love the Way You Lie" is a song recorded by American rapper Eminem for his seventh studio album, Recovery (2010). The second single from the album, it was released by Interscope-Geffen-A&M on August 9, 2010. The song's inspiration came from musician Skylar Grey's view of the music industry as an abusive relationship. The lyrics she wrote are sung by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, with whom Eminem wanted to collaborate after listening to a selection of tracks from record producer Alex da Kid. Eminem wrote the verses and the recording sessions were held at Effigy Studios in Ferndale, Michigan, and Sun Studios in Dublin. Makeba Riddick provided additional vocal production.

Composed and produced by Alex da Kid, "Love the Way You Lie" is a midtempo hip hop ballad with guitar, piano and violin instrumentation. Journalists have suggested that the lyrics, which describe Eminem's regret from an abusive failed relationship, reference the rapper's ex-wife Kimberly Scott. "Love the Way You Lie" was received favorably for its lyrics, Alex da Kid's production and Rihanna's vocal performance. Rihanna has said that the theme of domestic violence, a topic on which she claims many people do not have insight, is what makes the song effective.

The single was promoted with live performances and a music video. Eminem has sung it at events such as Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010, the MTV Video Music Awards and Lollapalloza. Its accompanying video, directed by Joseph Kahn and filmed in July 2010, stars Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a love–hate relationship as Eminem and Rihanna perform in front of a burning house. Although Kahn and some critics praised the realism, acting and visual appeal, imagery suggesting domestic violence caused an uproar. Initially fans and critics speculated that the video is based on the personal lives of Eminem and Rihanna, but were dismissed by Kahn.

Publications listed the single among the best of 2010 and of Eminem's work. It was certified as his best-selling song of all time, peaking at number one on 25 weekly charts worldwide, including the United States Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks. It sold more than five million copies in the US and became the best-selling single of 2010 in the United Kingdom. Eminem and Rihanna received many accolades for "Love the Way You Lie", including Teen Choice Awards, People's Choice Awards and Billboard Music Awards. Musicians such as Taylor Momsen, Cher Lloyd and Alex Feather Akimov have recorded cover versions of the song. For her album Loud, Rihanna recorded a sequel titled "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", which is narrated mostly from the female perspective.

[edit] Writing and production

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

British hip hop producer Alex da Kid wrote "Love the Way You Lie" mostly on his laptop.[1] He created a backing track and melody for the hook.[2] Beginning production, he made his own loops for a few hours and produced a drum pattern with electronic tools and digital software, then adding real instrumentation. The drum sounds had been collected from live recordings he had made over the years at various places.[1] Alex da Kid wanted to bring live guitar music back as an important element in hip hop. When he was in London, he recorded acoustic guitar music for the verses of his "Love the Way You Lie" track, using the first guitar he had ever purchased, a Georg Neumann U87 microphone and an Avid Mbox audio interface.[1]

In July 2009 Universal Music Publishing Group's vice president of creative affairs Jennifer Blakeman visited American recording artist Skylar Grey in New York, suggesting that she collaborate with Alex da Kid.[3] The singer began writing in fall 2009, when she lived in Bandon, Oregon.[4] She opened an email and listened to Alex da Kid's track, then a theme of abusive relationships came to her mind.[5] She compared the music industry to this topic, which inspired her to write "Love the Way You Lie": "I love it so much, and I give it all that I have, yet it beats me down."[6] The writing came naturally,[7] as she spontaneously sang lyrics to the track's melody and wrote the lyrics to the chorus;[5][8] she felt as if she were writing a song for herself when lyricizing this section.[7] Grey later recorded vocals for a demo track, which he sent to Alex da Kid.[9]

In early 2010 Alex da Kid offered the Shady Records Senior Director Rigo "Riggs" Morales a selection of backing tracks.[10] Morales enjoyed the tracks and sent them to Eminem, who wanted to take a different approach for his seventh studio album Recovery.[10] The rapper first listened to the B.o.B and Hayley Williams song "Airplanes", which he liked, later collaborating with the artists on a sequel.[10] When he asked Alex da Kid for more tracks, the producer presented Eminem with "Love the Way You Lie", for which the rapper told his manager Paul Rosenberg that he wanted to collaborate with Barbadian singer Rihanna.[10] Eminem told Paris radio station Skyrock FM that she would be ideal for the project and would be able to execute the part best.[11][12]

Rosenberg sent Alex da Kid's proposed track to Rihanna, who then accepted Eminem's request to work with her.[10] Eminem then wrote the rapped verses,[9] which Grey praised in an interview she gave to Billboard magazine at the 2011 Lollapalooza festival.[13] Rihanna told Ben Lyons of E! that she considered the proposal after approving the theme of the song, which she described as "a really unique record."[14] The singer labeled the lyrics in an interview for Access Hollywood as beautiful, deep and intense,[15] adding that both she and Eminem had experienced domestic violence on "different ends of the table" and so she participated in the project to reflect on the song's theme.[15] She echoed what she told Access Hollywood in an interview for MTV News, deeming the song authentic and realistic.[16] She believed that it "just broke down the cycle of domestic violence", concluding that its topic is one on which only a small group of people have insight, thus helping create an effective song.[16]

[edit] Recording sessions

"Em[inem] reminds me of one of my friends from back home. It was just so natural. ... He knows what he's doing. Me and him mixed [the song] together and he's not like somebody that's telling somebody what to do. We were both on the board turning knobs. The atmosphere and the vibe down there was just super cool."

—Alex da Kid talking to Rap-Up about the studio's atmosphere and working with Eminem.[10]

Eminem's recording sessions were held at Effigy Studios in Ferndale, Michigan, where Mike Strange recorded and mixed his vocals.[17] Strange's brother Joe engineered the tracks and the sessions were finished in two days.[17][18] Alex da Kid was absent when they were held, but went to Detroit two to three weeks later to mix and master the track.[10] After Strange recorded Eminem's vocals, he edited them with D-Verb—a reverberation software—and an Extra Long Delay plug-in. Strange preferred to make little modifications to a vocal track, but used board compression and equalization (EQ) on "Love the Way You Lie".[2] He arranged other mixing tools, including the Bricasti and Eventide Reverb 2016 for brighter reverberation.[2]

On most songs written by Eminem, Detroit musician Luis Resto adds keyboard music and arrangement. However, "Love the Way You Lie" was an exception and did not require Resto's contribution, as the track was almost complete.[2] According to Strange, "Everything we needed was already in the track, apart from the vocals."[2] Alex da Kid's tracks were almost perfectly recorded and required little work.[2] The producer wanted to replace the acoustic guitar on the demo track, but Eminem liked it and did not want it removed.[1] Strange used Waves RVerb and REQ equalization on the main bass track with additional use of the MaxxBass plug-in on two others.[2] He used the console equalization and compression almost exclusively.[2] According to him, "it was simply a matter of trying to match and then to improve on the demo [Alex da Kid had] sent us."[2]

Rihanna's recording sessions were held at Sun Studios in Dublin. Marcos Tovar mixed her vocals, which were engineered by Spike Lindsey and mastered from Detroit over the Internet.[10][17] American songwriter Makeba Riddick provided additional vocal production.[17] SSL EQ, compression and reverberation were added, while major modifications on the seven stereo vocal tracks were not needed and the vocal balance was left unchanged.[2]

"Love the Way You Lie" is a midtempo hip hop song that runs for 4:23 (4 minutes, 23 seconds).[7][19][20] According to the sheet music published by Universal Music Publishing Group at Musicnotes.com, it was composed in the key of G minor and is played in common time at a moderate tempo of 84 beats per minute.[21] The lyrics are sung over piano instrumentation and the vocal range spans from the low note of B♭3 to the high note of D5.[22][21] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Kyle Anderson compared the song's "slow-burning" composition to that of British singer-songwriter Adele's 2011 single "Someone Like You".[23] For this reason, Anderson, Gil Kaufman of MTV News and Mayer Nissem of Digital Spy regarded "Love the Way You Lie" as a ballad.[23][24][25] The introduction features Rihanna solely over a piano,[25] singing the pop-influenced hook:[26]

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I love the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie.[27]

A chord progression of Gm–E♭(add2)–B♭–F/A is followed in the hook,[21] in which Rihanna feels confined "in a cell of [her] own creation" according to Fraser McAlphine of BBC.[27] The New York Times' David Brownie added that her voice, having no vibrato, shows grief and regret.[28] After Rihanna's part, Eminem "zapp[s] into" his first verse:[25] "I can't tell you what it really is/ I can only tell you what it feels like."[26] The song switches to a Gm–E♭(add2)B♭–Fsus/A chord progression in the verses.[21] Lyrically, Eminem regrets an experience in an abusive failed relationship, expressing both fondness and anger.[22] The two artists portray personae that are in a romantic relationship when Eminem responds to her in regret by concluding the verse: "It's awful, I feel so ashamed ... I guess I don't know my own strength."[27] Rihanna returns to sing the chorus each time,[25] as an electric guitar recorded by J. Brow accompanies her.[1][22]

An acoustic guitar,[1] pounding drums and squealing violins play in the verses,[29] the second of which references video game company Nintendo: "But you promised her, next time you'll show restraint/ You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game."[22] The lyrics transition from discussing the positive aspects of love to the negative and more violent aspects: "Throw 'em down, pin 'em. So lost in the moments when you're in 'em."[30] Jayson Rodriguez of MTV News found emotion and power in the rapping and said that in the verse, Eminem eventually accepts the outcome after much regret, as the rapper admits, "Yesterday is over, it's a different day."[22] However, he expresses increasing frustration as the song progresses,[26] rapping that two different personalities can clash and cause devastation: "maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano".[27] He finally admits to lying about promises that he initially makes: "I apologize even though I know it's lies."[30]

Journalists have offered conclusions to what the lyrics convey. According to Anderson, writing for MTV News, the song carries a dark theme with regard to Eminem's style of rapping and the lyrics.[31] Rodriguez said that it echoes material from the rapper's previous albums, but finds a sober and more mature Eminem.[32] He suggested that the lyrics refer to his past relationship with his ex-wife Kimberly Scott, although they do not mention her. Rodriguez further commented that the single is the Eminem's closest example of a love song.[22] Similarly, editors of The A.V. Club compared "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem's previous songs that reference Scott: "Kim" and "'97 Bonnie & Clyde".[33] They believed that "Love the Way You Lie" finds him more tempered when discussing a "mutually destructive relationship" and that Rihanna's addition is "creepy".[33] Eric Hayden of The Atlantic Wire interpreted the song as a possible message influenced by Rihanna's relationship with American singer Chris Brown, adding that the lyrics discuss issues of an alcoholic couple.[34] Similarly, Allie Townsend of Time magazine and Jocelyn Noveck of The Associated Press noticed that the previous relationships of both artists relate to the song.[35][36]

[edit] Release and response

On May 27, 2011, Eminem revealed "Love the Way You Lie" on the track listing of Recovery among 16 songs.[37] The song was distributed by Interscope-Geffen-A&M as the second single from the album, following an Internet leak on June 8, 2010.[22][38] Polydor Records released a CD single in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2010.[39] Interscope Records released the single in the United States on August 17 and in Germany on August 20, 2011.[40][41] Regarding his reaction to the song's success, Alex da Kid told Billboard that he was not surprised, further praising Rihanna's contribution.[18] "Love the Way You Lie" received favorable reviews from most critics, many of whom commented on its lyrical meaning with regard to a troubled relationship.

A writer for Rap-Up listed "Love the Way You Lie" alongside "Talkin' 2 Myself", "Not Afraid" and "No Love" as one the four best tracks from the album.[42] Nick Levine of Digital Spy and McAlphine of BBC both gave the song four stars out of a possible five, commending its theme and realism and suggesting that the lyrics may pertain to the artists' past relationships.[27][43] McAlphine found interest in Rihanna's role in the song due to her relationship with Brown.[27] Sady Doyle of The Atlantic magazine noted the song to be among Eminem's most affecting tracks.[44] She said that he "turns the anger and accusations toward himself" and even confesses to hitting Scott.[44] Similarly, The New York Times writer Jon Caramanica said that "Love the Way You Lie" is among the "most engaging songs" on Recovery; he added that "Eminem has learned to see problems from both sides."[45] In his review of Recovery, Winston Robbins of music website Consequence of Sound called the song "extremely raw" and emotional, attributing its power to Rihanna's past abusive relationship and a theme of infidelity and abuse.[46]

Rihanna's addition and the song's production were received favorably. Kyle Anderson of MTV News said that the song showcases Eminem's "most intense rhymes about his tumultuous relationships with women" and added that Rihanna's part is emotional, but enjoyable to listen to.[31] Pop music critic Joey Guerra wrote a review of Recovery for Houston Chronicle, describing the song as one that brings "sandpaper and silk sheen to" Rihanna.[47] Michael Menachem of Billboard praised Rihanna's "exquisitely melodic and surprisingly hopeful" vocal performance, and "Eminem's dark, introspective" rapping."[19] He commended the production, noting Alex da Kid's "knack for mainstreaming classical instrumentation" and percussion that effectively adds to the arrangement.[19] On the critical side, Jenny McCartney of The Daily Telegraph opined that the song's theme was over-hyped as she dismissed Rihanna's metaphors in the chorus.[48]

Time's Suddath listed "Love the Way You Lie" at number five on the magazine's list of the "Top 10 Songs of 2010" and felt that the song's violent subject matter is what makes it effective and powerful.[26] AOL Radio considered the song the best of 2010 hip hop music, regarding Eminem as imaginative and passionate when composing a song about dysfunctional relationships.[49] On April 26, 2011, Gabriel Alvarez of Complex magazine compiled a list of "The 100 Best Eminem Songs" and placed "Love the Way You Lie" at the bottom.[50] He wrote that "Love the Way You Lie" is a love song and Rihanna's voice is "the most beautifullest thing in this world".[50] On MTV News' list of the "Top 25 Songs Of 2010", James Montgomery listed "Love the Way You Lie" at number nine.[51] He attributed the song's success to its realistic lyrical theme and a shocking topic that relates to the two artists' past abusive relationships.[51] Montgomery concluded that "You cannot write a song any better than that, because that's how this kind of thing happens in real life."[51] New York Post listed the song at second place on its list of the "The top 210 songs from 2010" and regarded it as a "comeback club anthem."[52]

A fan of Eminem, actress Megan Fox accepted her starring role in the video. Director Joseph Kahn said that she helped the video have a strong impact.

Produced by Kathy Angstadt and Maryann Tanedo of HSI Productions,[87] the accompanying music video for "Love the Way You Lie" was Eminem's third to be directed by American feature film director Joseph Kahn, who had filmed "Without Me" and "We Made You".[88] Even after having planned to shoot a feature film and stop directing pop music videos, he changed his mind to direct "Love the Way You Lie" because according to him, the song touches on an important topic.[89] For the video he casted American actress Megan Fox, hiring whom Kahn had believed would be almost impossible: "Seriously, before every video you think to yourself 'let's cast a girl like Megan Fox.' I think ninety-five percent of treatments say that."[90] Fox, a fan of Eminem, accepted the role without hesitation as Kahn then wrote a fictional storyline and did not base it on Eminem and Rihanna.[90] He commented for Vibe on the theme of the video, as well as Fox's acting:

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 feel like people constantly pick on her because she's so beautiful but I'll tell you as a director the reason why their scenes in the video feel so real is because in the moment they were real.[90]

According to Kahn, Fox's participation increased the video's impact.[90] Regarding the video's theme, Mikey Fresh of Vibe wrote that "Love the Way You Lie" was Kahn's best opportunity to direct a video for Eminem "that was void of the comedic elements that flooded of their past projects."[90] Kahn considered American actor Dominic Monaghan as a co-star after he felt that Monaghan's versatility would help him play a villainous role effectively.[91] Rosenberg required a finished concept by the next morning from Kahn, who wrote the full treatment in 45 minutes.[90] Filming began with Eminem's and Rihanna's parts on July 21, 2010, in Los Angeles; Fox's and Monaghan's parts were shot at a later date.[90][92][93] Photos of Rihanna's filming in front of a burning house leaked onto the Internet that day; frustrated, Kahn wrote on Twitter: "Paparazzi, stop trying to ruin my shots, thank you."[94]

On July 24, 2010, Kahn wrote on his Twitter account that he finished filming and the video would premiere in one week.[95] The next day another Twitter message followed, giving his status on the video's progress and confirming the completion of the director's cut.[93] Shortly before the video's release, Eminem spoke about it in a press statement, discussing the collaboration with Kahn and praising Rihanna, Fox and Monaghan's contributions;[96] he added, "Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. ... They really brought it and made this video super-powerful."[96] Fox donated her appearance fee to the Soujourn House, a shelter for women who have been abused.[97] On August 5, 2011, the video premiered on MTV at 9 pm ET, simultaneously uploaded to music video website VEVO for online viewing.[98][93]

[edit] Synopsis

Rihanna and Eminem are standing in front of a house on fire 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."[30]

The video opens with a close-up on Rihanna, who sings in front of a burning house, as an interspersing scene shows fire on the palms of a woman (Fox). A couple (Fox and Monaghan) lie asleep, but the woman suddenly wakes up. Eminem begins to rap in an empty cornfield. After the woman sees the name "Cindy" and a phone number written on her boyfriend's hand, she attacks him.[99] He tries to kiss her, but is spat on the face. She then attempts to leave him, but starts to fight again after she is brought back. The man slams his girlfriend onto the wall and proceeds to punch her, hitting through the drywall instead. Rihanna returns to sing again, then the video flashes back to when the couple first meet "at a seedy dive bar next door" to a liquor store,[99][100] in which the man steals a bottle of vodka after they fall in love and kisses the women on the rooftop.[101]

The video shifts back to the present as the man apologizes to his girlfriend with a teddy bear and later drinks a glass of liquor. Rihanna returns to sing again, while the couple are reconciled. In another flashback, the man fights someone after the person played pool with his girlfriend.[99] As the video once again returns to the present, Eminem joins Rihanna in front of the burning house and raps the final verse. After the couple are reconciled, the woman walks away from her boyfriend, who follows her. She closes and locks the door to avoid further violence and her boyfriend fails to open it in time. In a different scene, she handles fire in her hands again and closes them to extinguish the flame. The couple, along with Eminem, are then engulfed by flames.[102] Meanwhile, the two fight in front of the burning house. The woman eventually chooses to stay with the man, as the video returns to the first frame, in which they lie in bed asleep.[99][103]

[edit] Reception and analysis

"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 he'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 telling MTV News his interpretation of "Love the Way You Lie".[104]

The video was watched 6.6 million times in the first 24 hours after its upload to VEVO, breaking a YouTube record for having the most hits in one day.[105] However, explicit and overt usage of imagery that suggests domestic violence caused an uproar.[106] On AOL Music's list of the "Top 10 Most Controversial Music Videos in Pop", "Love the Way You Lie" was listed at number five.[106] According to Fox News reporter Hollie McKay and the executive director of sexual assault and trauma resource center Day One—Stephanie Nilva—the video mainly raises "the topic of dating violence among young people" and teenagers.[104][107] Nilva praised the clip for accurate depiction of patterns in an abusive relationship and said that it is potent due to Eminem's background for singing violent-themed songs and Brown's 2009 assault on Rihanna.[104]

Mariel Concepcion of Billboard said that the clip focuses on the risks of domestic violence, which should be avoided before it is too late.[98] Peter Gicas of E! News noted that the two stars act violently and there is "combustible behavior the tune is hellbent on describing."[108] Gicas compared the video with Kanye West's clip for "Power", which premiered the same night.[108] He suggested viewers watch the calmer "Power" video if they are disturbed by "Love the Way You Lie"'s subject matter,[108] which Zoe Chace of NPR criticized and deemed graphic and sickening.[109] Rihanna's appearance in the video faced criticism. Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone magazine called Rihanna's appearance in particular "especially striking", noting her past relationship with Brown.[110] An editor from The Boston Globe commented that although the video is realistic, it hinders Rihanna's ability as an intolerant advocate to set an example for women in abusive relationships.[103] National Organization for Women President Terry O'Neill criticized the singer, saying that although it may not be her intention, she glorifies domestic violence.[111]

According to Brittany Talarico of OK! magazine and other critics, the video's message is significant to both artists.[101] Billy Johnson Jr. from Yahoo! Music said that Fox's portrayal as Scott switches between vulnerable and confrontational personalities, while Monaghan portrays a character similar to Eminem in the video.[112] Monaghan echoed Johnson's sentiments of the couple as a representation of Eminem and Scott in an interview for MTV.[16] Although Kahn understood why viewers may think the video was influenced by Eminem's and Rihanna's relationships, he told MTV News that it is fictional and not based on their personal lives.[113] According to him, the cast and crew had to be conscious about such personal matters and Fox's and Monaghan's characters were only created to be significant to each other.[113] He asked that viewers pay closer attention to the video to realize that it is not influenced by the two recording artists.[113]

Despite facing criticism for the controversial theme, the video was received favorably for the acting. Mikey Fresh of Vibe praised Fox's natural reaction when Monaghan punches through the drywall and almost hits her, calling it an "incredible act of vulnerability".[90] New York Post's Jarett Wieselman commended the acting and said that they play their respective roles perfectly and help make the video very powerful.[114] Whitney Pastorek from Entertainment Weekly added that the violent and graphic acting is executed in a "sexy way", adding that Fox and Monaghan look gorgeous.[115] Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio commented that viewers are "left to decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the pair always end up reconciling."[116] Jozen Cummings of The Wall Street Journal suggested that the video is more appropriate "for the big screen than the TV screen" due to the involvement of film stars Fox and Monaghan.[102] L Magazine's Benjamin Sutton compared the scene in which the characters burst into flames to Chris Bradley, a character Monaghan portrayed in the 2009 action film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.[117] Willa Paskin of New York magazine noted the use of sepia toning for the burning house scene, as well as the cast's appeal, which he said leaves viewers hypnotized.[118] Rap-Up noted the video's realism and considered it an example of how "art imitates life".[119]

On June 15, 2010, Eminem and Rihanna performed "Love the Way You Lie" at Los Angeles's Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 (E3 2010).[120] Before the song started, Eminem told the crowd, "Before I get into this next song, I wanna bring out a very special guest", inviting Rihanna to the stage while drummer Travis Barker and D12 hypeman Mr. Porter performed with him.[120] "Love the Way You Lie" was performed at the T in the Park festival on July 10, 2010, in Scotland, as part of a set list.[121] Eminem dedicated it to "everybody who'[d] been in a fucked-up relationship."[121]

Eminem performed the song at Ireland's Oxegen 2010 festival on July 11, 2010.[122] James Hendicott from State wrote that Eminem's personality always "fills the stage" and his vocals are very sharp and pack "plenty of punch".[123] However, he criticized the lack of innovation and involvement, as well as Rihanna's absence.[123] Eamon Sweeney from Irish Independent called the live performance only "mildly impressive".[124] On July 21, 2010, the rapper made a surprise appearance on Rihanna's Last Girl on Earth Tour when he joined her onstage to perform the song at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.[92] He performed with Rihanna at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and was voted the best performer of the ceremony, earning 34 percent of votes in a poll created by MTV.[125][126] Rihanna had told fans earlier that she would be absent at Eminem's performance; however, she in fact did appear to sing with him.[127] Eminem performed in a black jacket, hoodie and white T-shirt, while Rihanna wore a white tutu and black combat boots.[127] Suddath of Time was critical of the performance and considered it dull.[128]

"Love the Way You Lie" was performed without Rihanna at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music Festival,[129] in front of an audience of almost 80,000 people.[130] Eminem thanked the audience for supporting him during his career "and not giving up on me."[131] MTV News' Montgomery wrote that Eminem's "sheer tenacity with which he attacked" was his strength.[129] Patrick Doyle of Rolling Stone praised the performance and felt that Eminem's delivered a triumphal act by "constantly bouncing across the stage" and singing energetically.[131] He 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.[132] Piet Levy of USA Today newspaper named the performance a "tragic stunner" as members of the audience sang the chorus to compensate for Rihanna's absence.[132][133] Katie Hasty of HitFix added that the performance displayed equality between both sexes.[134]

On August 20, 2011, Rihanna joined Eminem to perform the song onstage at V2011 (V Festival), dressed in a denim shirt and shorts with fishnet stockings, and later in a black leather dress.[135][136] The Guardian named their Staffordshire performance on day one thrilling and British newspaper Metro called it the best part of the evening.[137][138] Eminem closed the festival on the night of August 21—in Chelmsford, Essex—with the same set list, while Rihanna appeared in the same attire.[139] A staff reporter from International Business Times thought that Eminem and Rihanna's duet highlighted the evening's show.[140] Eminem earned £1 million (US$1.6 million) each night he performed and Rihanna earned £500,000 (US$788,950) each night, giving V2011 the record for the most expensive V Festival event in history.[141] Eminem embarked on an Australian tour on December 1–2, 2011.[142] "Love the Way You Lie" was part his set list at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, on day one.[143] Cameron Adams of Herald Sun noted the poor sound during the first 20 minutes of the performance, but commented that Eminem was as "happy to be back on stage as the fans were to see him back up there."[143] He performed at the Sydney Football Stadium the next day. Carlie Walker of Byron Shire News said that his performance of the song "brought the crowd to life."[144]

[edit] Cover versions and remixes

Musicians and bands have recorded cover versions and remixes of "Love the Way You Lie". Country music group The Band Perry performed the song at the June 2010 CMT Music Awards.[145] Two months later, Taylor Momsen, lead singer of American rock band The Pretty Reckless, performed a cover version of "Love the Way You Lie" for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, as part of a mashup with the song "Islands" by English pop band The xx.[146][147] A guitar player from the band assisted her for the performance.[148] She first sang a part of "Islands" and then transitioned into the chorus of "Love the Way You Lie".[148] Momsen caused controversy after she had told Spin magazine that "People think pop is rock and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing fuckin' leather jackets and it's really annoying."[146] Ann Lee of Metro was confused as to why Taylor would perform the song after "slating" her, but named the cover "pretty good" anyway.[149] Momsen later told BBC Radio 1 that she respects Rihanna and that she is "awesome."[146]

British musician Cher Lloyd performed the song in the final five on the seventh series of The X Factor.[150][151] Lloyd said before rehearsal, "I come across aggressive and the sort of person that doesn't care about anything. But it's not correct at all. I'm a nice person. I don't know how to be nasty."[151] A writer from The Sun called the performance "stripped-back" and "without any of her usual stage gimmicks."[152] Mernie Gilmore of Daily Express commented that the song is "a duet for a reason" when Lloyd performed both Eminem's and Rihanna's parts.[150] In 2010 Russian-American guitarist Alex Feather Akimov and Rudiger released "Love The Way You Lie (Heavy Remix)", a recording that was recognized by Billboard.biz (Web Trends).[153] 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.[154]

On November 3, 2010, an alternate version of "Love the Way You Lie", titled "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", leaked onto the Internet.[155] Rihanna serves as the lead vocalist and Eminem is a featured guest, as the song mainly views matters from the female perspective.[156] The sequel is based on the demo recorded by Grey.[6][157] "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" appears as the 11th and final track on Rihanna's fifth studio album Loud (2010). She performed a short medley that includes "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", "What's My Name?" and "Only Girl (In the World)" at the American Music Awards of 2010.[158] Another medley, composed of "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" and "I Need a Doctor", was performed at the 53rd Grammy Awards.[159]

Rihanna told MTV that she was initially "very against" recording a sequel and "felt like the original couldn't be beaten";[160] however, she later agreed to record "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)". She added that the sequel has less production than the original version, as a piano and drums accompany the artists.[160] BBC Online wrote a positive review on the sequel, saying, "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."[161] The song peaked at number 19 on the Canadian Hot 100 and lasted on the chart for eight weeks.[162][163]
