"L.O.V.E." is a song recorded by American singer Ashlee Simpson for her second studio album, I Am Me (2005).
Like all the tracks on I Am Me, "L.O.V.E." was written by Simpson, Kara DioGuardi, and John Shanks, and produced by Shanks. The song was originally supposed to be the first single from I Am Me, but "Boyfriend" took its place. "L.O.V.E." was also remixed by Missy Elliott. The remixed version reached number 1 in Singapore, while the original version peaked at number 22 in the United States. "L.O.V.E" debuted at #5 on Australian top 50 singles chart, giving Simpson her 4th top 10 single in Australia. It dropped to #7 in its second week, then #9 in its third week and has been certified Gold.
In this pop up-tempo, Simpson recalls her boyfriend noting that he doesn't answer the telephone, and that she doesn't even know where he goes. Annoyed, but not letting it get the best of her, she calls up her friends, and they proceed to have a party without dealing with men. Simpson has said of the song that it is "about hanging with your girlfriends and loving them for being there". She explains that "one of my girlfriends and I were listening to music and were like, there's not enough songs for your girlfriends for when you go out and leave your man behind and have a good time. Any situation I go through, I lean on my girlfriends. Like, when you get your heart broken, who do you go to? You go to your friends."
On November 21, 2005, she performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman, and on the November 22 episode of ABC's The View. On December 6, Simpson sang "L.O.V.E." as part of a performance with Pretty Ricky at the Billboard Music Awards; the song was combined into a medley with Pretty Ricky's "Grind with Me".
Simpson sang "L.O.V.E." on the premiere episode of CD USA, which aired on January 21, and she also sang it on the January 29 episode of TEENick on Nickelodeon, on the 2006 TRL Awards on February 25, and at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards on April 12.
