"'''What Is Love'''" is the title of a song recorded by [[Eurodance]] artist [[Haddaway]]. It was written and produced by Dee Dee Halligan (Tony Hendrik/Dieter Lünstedt) and Junior Torello (Karin Hartman-Eisenblätter) of [[Coconut Records]] in [[Cologne]]. Recorded in the early 1990s, it later experienced a revival as the song from the ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' "[[Roxbury Guys]]" sketches, where two brothers played by [[Chris Kattan]] and [[Will Ferrell]] frequently went to dance clubs with a third person (including actors such as [[Sylvester Stallone]] and [[Jim Carrey]]), credited as "Barhop". These sketches were later made into the 1998 feature film ''[[A Night at the Roxbury]]'' but the "Barhop" role was dropped during the production of the film.

The song peaked at number two in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Germany]], but it reached number one in 13 other countries, all of them [[Europe]]an or [[Asia]]n. The song reached number 11 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] in the [[United States]], and number 12 in [[Australia]]. The song is currently the 75th best-selling single of all time in Germany.<ref>Best-selling singles of all time in Germany [http://www.musicline.de/de/charts_alltimefav Musicline.de] (Retrieved May 17, 2009)</ref>

The song was used in a 2011 TV advertising campaign for British clothing retailer [[Next (clothing)|Next]], pushing it into the UK [[iTunes Store]] chart top 100.
