Love All Over Me

"Love All Over Me" is a song by American singer Monica. It was written by Crystal Johnson, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox for her sixth studio album Still Standing (2010), while production was helmed by Dupri, with Cox credited as co-producer of the song. Musically, "Love All Over Me" is a down-tempo R&B piece that rounds out Still Standing as another laid back, yet soulful track filled with admiration.
