"No More I Love You's"
(stylized as "No More "I Love You's"") is a song written by
Joseph Hughes and David Freeman and was first released by their band, The Lover
Speaks with keyboards by Barry Gilbert in 1986. The song was later covered by
the Scottish singer Annie Lennox and became a hit for her in 1995.
"No More "I Love
You's"" was the first single released by Annie
Lennox from her second studio album Medusa. The song won her the Grammy Award for
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 38th Grammy Awards,[2] the
first to be awarded to a British artist. The song features slightly altered
lyrics from the original version and added background vocals that can be heard
around the 2:50 mark of the song.
This single became the highest
charting solo single for Lennox in the UK, entering the chart and
peaking at #2 (spending 12 weeks on the charts and also became a Top 25 hit in USA, peaking at #23. With
this, Lennox won the 1995 Grammy
Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance,
beating Mariah Carey, Vanessa L. Williams, Dionne
Farris and Bonnie Raitt.
This version of the song has been
sampled three times. It was first sampled for the Nicki Minaj song "Your Love" on her 2010 single.
The song was originally recorded two years before but never intended to be put
out for release until it was leaked in January 2010. After becoming a hit, it
was slightly rewritten and re-recorded and this revised version was released in
June 2010. Prior to the official release of Minaj's song, the cover was sampled
in 2009 by Jason Derulo & Auburn in
their song "How Did We". It was then
sampled by J.R. Rotem for singer Razah's 2010 single called "I
Remember", using the same instrumental beat used for "How Did
We".
