"2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" was the second single from Special, Lizzo's fourth album, out on Atlantic in 2022, and it's a glittering throwback: a new wave-leaning pop song that borrows its bounce from vintage disco and its sheen from old-school synth-pop, with critics hearing echoes of the Pointer Sisters and Hall & Oates.
Max Martin and ILYA produced and arranged it and played a good deal of it themselves, guitars, bass, drums and backing vocals included, with Johan Carlsson on piano and organ. Lizzo wrote it with the pair plus Savan Kotecha and Peter Svensson, and Serban Ghenea mixed. It went to Italian radio first that July before landing on several American formats, and it cracked the top twenty in the UK, Ireland, Australia and the Netherlands, among others.
