Selfish Love (Jessie Ware song)

It was written by Ware, Ross Golan, Ryan Tedder, Ammar Malik, Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and Happy Perez, with production handled by the latter three.

"[5] Noisey Staff of Vice called the song "a more sultry affair, ditching the tension or soulful stomp of 'Midnight' in favor of an smoldering slow samba".

[7] Derrick Rossignol of Uproxx felt the song "slows things down for a smoother, sexier, and bass-carried vibe with a distinct Latin flair".

[3] Tom Breihan of Stereogum called it "a coldly flirty song about an emotionally distant dude, with a bit of a bossa nova lilt".

[9] Ware played the role of one half of a couple in a strained relationship with the dishonest man,[10][11] who has been cheating on her,[12] as they spend time in a luxurious property.
