"Got 2 Luv U" is the first single from Jamaican recording artist
Sean Paul's fifth studio album Tomahawk Technique. The song features vocals from American singer
Alexis Jordan. It was released on 19 July 2011 by
Atlantic Records. The song was featured in 2012 film Magic Mike.[2]
Song information
Sean Paul co-wrote the song with
OneRepublic lead singer
Ryan Tedder and Norwegian production duo
Stargate. Production was also handled by Stargate.[3][4] Tedder originally wrote and recorded the song as a break-up song called "Not To Love You" (uploads of this version can be found on
YouTube). However, when it was given to Sean Paul and Alexis Jordan, the song was changed into a love song. The "N" in "Not" was changed to a "G" to make the word "Got", thus creating its current title. Also, Paul wrote and recorded two new verses to replace Tedder's original first two verses, while Jordan sings Tedder's original chorus and third verse with different lyrics.
