Content

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country described the song as Combs' "first bedroom song", comparing it favorably to the work of Billy Currington. He also described it as mixing a contemporary R&B sound with mainstream country music.[1] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone Country also compared it to Currington, calling it "a bit of a stylistic turn".[2]

Music video

The accompanying music video was released on June 16, 2022. It follows the parallel stories of an older and younger couple. The younger couple struggles to make time for each other due to their demanding schedules as a firefighter and a paramedic, until they are summoned to respond to a fire that has erupted at the older couple's home. The home was completely damaged, but miraculously the occupants were unharmed, likely not even aware of the fire due to getting lost in each other while dancing. [3]

"The Kind of Love We Make" debuted at number 18 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated June 25, 2022. It is Combs' second-highest debut there after "Beer Never Broke My Heart", which debuted at number 15 in May 2019.[4] The following week, it debuted at number two on the same publication's Hot Country Songs charts.
