## Background

Parts of "Love More" were premiered at the 2013 BET Awards, along with "Don't Think They Know" and "Fine China". MTV praised the performance stating: "Brown hit the stage with his backup dancers in tow, sporting a black leather jacket while all the members of his crew donned sweatshirts with a neon 'X' across them, a nod to his upcoming July 16 album. For 'Fine China', Breezy kept it thematic, with images of Chinese fire dragons and fire lanterns flashing across the LED screen behind him, as he delivered his usual flawless choreography."
On March 29, 2013, Brown confirmed that Minaj will appear on his upcoming album, saying that she just gave him a "mean verse". Minaj later publicly complimented the beat of the song, stating that her fans were going to love the song. On June 30, the song premiered as a live performance by Brown and Minaj at the opening act of the BET Awards 2013. The name of the song was also confirmed to be "Love More". The track was planned to be released with the whole album on July 16, but, for unknown reasons, the release was pushed back.
