It was written by Evans, Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Clarence Emery, and Schon Crawford, for her second studio album Keep the Faith (1998), with production helmed by Lawrence and Combs. Built around a looped sample from "Chic Cheer", performed by American disco group Chic and penned by band members Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers,[1] the song initially impacted US radios on September 15, 1998 as the album's lead single.
Commercially, "Love Like This" became one of Evans's biggest successes: it charted within the top forty in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking her highest-charting solo single to date.
