A remix of the song, titled "Love in This Club Part II", features Beyoncé and Lil Wayne.

[7] "Love in This Club" is a mid-tempo R&B slow jam,[8][9] with a brass bassline, and shuddering synth-driven beats that have been called "space age" and "sex-drenched" by critics.

[15] According to the sheet music published by Hal Leonard Corporation at Musicnotes.com, the song is written in common time with a tempo of 70 beats per minute and follows the chord progression of C major–E minor–A minor–F major.

[16] About.com's Mark Edward Nero wrote that "on the song, Usher talks about a lust so immediate, so powerful, that it makes him want to get down [and have sex] right then and there".

[11] Early in 2008, several songs for Usher's fifth studio album leaked into the Internet, including "Love in This Club".

[19][20] Polow da Don later told that he had leaked "Love in This Club", echoing Lil Jon's actions.

[21] The production of "Love in This Club" was praised by the Los Angeles Times, as was Usher's vocal effort.

It's too slow and quiet, and...its smeary synth hook sounds like a planed-down version of a Justin Timberlake hit.

[12] Bill Lamb of About.com praised the rapper's effort, but expected better from Usher after a four-year break since Confessions, writing that he is "retread[ing] territory familiar to fans of Akon and T-Pain", awarding the song two-and-a-half out of five stars.

[26] BBC Radio 1's Fraser McAlpine rated the song four stars out of five, but called Young Jeezy's rap "growling" and "wheezy".

[28] MTV News listed the song as the fifth-best R&B tune of the year,[29] and it won the Ozone Award for Best Rap/R&B Collaboration.

[34] "Love in This Club" debuted at number eighty-three on the Billboard Hot 100, on the issue dated March 1, 2008.

Replacing "Low" by Flo Rida and T-Pain, "Love in This Club" also sold 198,000 downloads in that week.

[37] On April 5, 2008, the song was again named the 'Airplay Gainer', however it was shifted from the number-one spot by Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love", having spent three weeks atop the chart.

[42] The song also reached number four on the Pop 100,[43] and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In individual countries, "Love in This Club" attained top-ten places in Flanders,[57] France,[58] Germany,[59] Norway,[60] Slovakia,[61] Sweden[62] and Switzerland.

[63] It also appeared on the singles charts of Austria,[64] Wallonia,[65] Czech Republic,[66] Denmark,[67] Finland,[68] Hungary,[69] and the Netherlands.

[2] Directed by the Brothers Strause,[72] it features cameo appearances from Keri Hilson, Kanye West, Diddy, Nelly, Rick Ross and Robin Thicke.

Featuring vocals from R&B singer Beyoncé and rapper Lil Wayne, the sequel samples The Stylistics' "You Are Everything",[4] and has a slower tempo than the original.
