The single peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, staying on the chart for twenty weeks. It was also a success internationally, reaching the Top 5 in Australia, the UK and Europe.

Production

Fat Joe claimed that Ashanti recorded vocals for the demo, with the plan being to replace her on the record with Jennifer Lopez to appeal to the Latin market. When Joe heard the demo, he insisted on doing the record with Ashanti instead. [2]

Music video

The video for "What's Luv?" was filmed at New York City, New York's Fordham University. The music video features cameo appearances from DJ Kay Slay, Capone, Young Noble, Kastro, Treach, Tommy Davidson, Miguel Núñez, Jr., Maia Campbell as Joe's love interest, Terror Squad members Tony Sunshine, Prospect, Armageddon and Remy Ma.

gollark: Which was kind of the case before - my autoinvestor bot was extremely successful just investing in any post with a large number of investments.
gollark: Honestly I think it's kind of stupid even with lots of players, since the only thing which has any impact on how much you get is how many other people wildly jump on the bandwagon.
gollark: That seems... bad.
gollark: *Just* how it's been bought/sold? Not how popular the meme is or something?
gollark: So, anyone know how the sell/buy price of memes works? The guide just says it's based on demand somehow, which seems really weird.
