".
" in 2010, Eminem wanted to record an alternate version, this time with Rihanna serving as the lead vocalist, viewing aspects of a relationship from a female perspective, unlike the original, which featured Eminem as lead vocalist and was from a male perspective. In an interview with MTV.com, Rihanna initially stated she was "very against" recording a sequel, "When I first heard the idea about doing a part two, I was just completely against it. I just felt like you couldn't beat the 'original'. There's no way you can outdo that, so why compete with it?". She continued to discuss how when she first heard the original "broken down" demo version of the song in the studio with Eminem, sung by American singer-songwriter
Skylar Grey, all of her reservations about recording it went away, saying "We heard a broken-down version that was stripped down, just piano...I fell in love with it. We recorded it, then we did another version to the stripped-down version with drums, then we did another version with drums and Eminem".
Both versions of the song, "Love the Way You Lie" and "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", were originally based on a demo recording written and recorded in fall 2009 by Grey. With regard to giving "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" to Rihanna, Grey commented in an interview with PopEater
"I wrote the demo initially for myself because I thought, ‘Oh, I have this big song, and now I have a little bit of a launching pad to put out my own stuff." Grey continued to discuss how the song was ultimately included on Loud, saying "As soon as Rihanna and her team heard my demo, they were like, ‘Oh we want it for Rihanna’s album,’ so I had to make the decision if I was going to let them have it or not. But I did and so it was on Rihanna’s album, too."
edition of Loud. "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" is a mid-tempo song, which incorporates the musical genres of hip hop
and R&B. According to sheet music published at Musicnotes, the song is written in common time
with a moderate tempo of 89 beats per minute
and is written in the key
of G minor
. Rihanna's vocal range in the song spans from the low note of F
3 to the high note of D
5. Emily Mackay of NME
commented about the vocals provided by Rihanna and Eminem in the song, stating that "There’s great contrast in Part II of ‘Love The Way You Lie’. With the balance of vocals neatly flipped and extra cavernous beats ramping up the drama, it wallows ever-deeper in the tortured relationship sketched out in Part I. Eminem at points is practically screaming with rage, and sounding, frankly, mental. The contrast with Rihanna’s smoothly pitched pain (“Maybe I’m a masochist/Try to run but I don’t wanna never leave”) is delicious."
of The New York Times
said that “Loud works the pop gizmos as neatly as any album this year, maintaining the Rihanna brand. But the album has a hermetic, cool calculation until it gets to 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II),' her take on the tortured hit she shared with Eminem. 'It’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied,' she sings. A lone piano humanizes her first vocals, and she rides the ascending power ballad to a pained resolve; then Eminem delivers new verses in a spiraling rage. It’s purely theatrical, but it’s also, for a moment, raw. Chris Richards of The Washington Post
said that "With 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II),' the maniac-mouthed rapper is limited to just one verse, giving Rihanna the space to take ownership of the proceedings. Will the real Rihanna please stand up? She does -- and she sounds as remote as ever." James Skinner of BBC Online viewed 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II)' as being even better than the original. He said, "Eminem’s verse exuding the kind of volatile, simmering menace that got everyone so excited about him in the first place. But it is Rihanna’s vocal – at once commanding, soulful and vulnerable – that anchors the song, and Loud itself, elevating it from a hit-and-miss collection into something oddly arresting."
Steve Jones of USA Today
gave a mixed review of the collaboration, commenting, "Eminem puts in a cameo on 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II)', which extends, but doesn't really add, to their earlier hit about a tortured relationship from his Recovery album." Chicago Sun-Times
writer Thomas Conner gave a negative review of the song, stating, "She collaborated with Eminem
this summer on the controversial '"Love the Way You Lie
"', a song and hotly debated video conflating wild passion with crazed assault. She returns to this on "Loud
" with "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", an extension of the melody and the arson metaphor, in which Eminem reappears with more histrionic rapping about hating her, loving her, hitting her and hugging her. It's an unnecessary sequel that further muddies the issue: Is this a social statement, or merely an artistic expression about some truly troubled and confused people."
" and "Only Girl (In the World)
" at the American Music Awards of 2010
on November 21, 2010. Rihanna opened the performance singing an acappella version of "Love The Way You Lie (Part II)". She was sitting on a stylized tree hovering above a field of sable-colored blades of grass. Once she had finished the first frame of the song, she plummeted from the tree to the ground. She reemerged from the fog revealing a changed costume now consisting of a black-and-white bra top and shorts singing "What's My Name?". The performance featured an accompaniment of background dancers. Rihanna then ended the performance after transitioning into "Only Girl", which featured drummers and a background of fire for the finale.
Rihanna and Eminem performed the song together for the first time at the 53rd Grammy Awards
on February 13, 2011 as part of a medley with "I Need a Doctor
