"Mad Love" is a song recorded by Jamaican rapper Sean Paul and French music producer David Guetta, featuring guest vocals from American singer Becky G.[2] It was written by Paul, Guetta, Emily Warren, Shakira, Rosina Russell, Ina Wroldsen, Raoul Lionel Chen, Jack Patterson and Giorgio Tuinfort, with production handled by Guetta, Patterson, Tuinfort, Jason Jigzagula Henriques, Banx & Ranx and 1st Klase. The song was released via Island Records on 16 February 2018, as the fourth single from Paul's EP Mad Love the Prequel.[3]

Background

The song was first revealed in June 2017; it initially featured Colombian singer Shakira instead of Becky G. Speaking about the song, Sean Paul explained: "I got something kind of more poppy coming in a little while, with Shakira. The song's called 'Mad Love', it's about being mad and having love, it's more sexy. It's not about love, it's the sexiness."[4][5] Paul later revealed in an interview with Billboard in August 2017 that the song was intended to be titled "Temple".[6]

Paul said of the song in a press release: "I've been working on this record for a long time. It was a pleasure to work with David Guetta and his team as we got the production to the perfect sound. It was also great to work with Becky G and her team. Nuff love to all of them! The song is full of energy and I can't wait for people to hear it!" Guetta added that they spent two years working on the song, and he is grateful that the song is finally getting released. He is proud of the track, praising Paul for his "unique style" and Becky G for her vocals, which "just make everything come together". Becky G declared that she appreciates the opportunity to work with "an icon like Sean". She regarded "Mad Love" as a song that "brings people together" and "give you the energy you need to get up and get on the dance floor".[7]

Critical reception

Xavier Hamilton of Vibe wrote that the song manages to "embody every aspect of a modern pop record" and "add to all of the artists' cross-cultural popularity".[8] Rap-Up called it an "island-flavored collaboration" and a "dance floor-ready track".[9] Chantilly Post of HotNewHipHop deemed it "a pop, radio-friendly track", writing "David provides a bouncy EDM beat that hears Becky and Sean sing about vibing and hitting it off to the 'tempo' of a song."[10]
