"Cuz I Love You" is the title song of Lizzo's third album, released in 2019. She wrote it with X Ambassadors, who also produced it, and they built her a big band-style soul number built around that voice: she opens by belting on her own before a brass-and-percussion-heavy band comes crashing in behind her, a performance that drew comparisons to Darlene Love.
Underneath the blast it's a song about falling for someone special and leaving her old ways with romance behind, and the title tips its hat to Slade's 1971 single "Coz I Luv You". It first appeared as a promotional single before becoming the album's second official single, and Lizzo opened the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards with it in January 2020.
