LoveHate Thing

"LoveHate Thing" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Wale featuring vocals from Roc Nation singer Sam Dew.

It was co-written by both artists, along with Antonio Palmer and Mint Condition's Stokley Williams, who also co-produced the song with Dew and Tone P. It was released on May 21, 2013 as the second single from his third studio album The Gifted (2013).

A music video directed by Sarah McColgan was made for the single that features Wale both performing with a backing band on a rooftop and going to places in his hometown of Washington D.C. Wale first performed the song live on the Late Show with David Letterman and made a later appearance at the 2013 Soul Train Awards with co-writer and producer Williams.

AllMusic's David Jeffries gave the song a "Track Pick" tag, calling it "a breezy summertime jam reminiscing with plenty of gun talk and reckless stories of youth.
