"Love Faces" is a song by American recording artist Trey Songz. It was released on January 11, 2011 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Passion, Pain & Pleasure (2010). Written by Songz with Tony Scales, Troy Taylor and Edrick Miles, and produced by the latter two, "Love Faces" is a mid-tempo ballad and uses the piano as its foundation. Beginning with a spoken introduction, the song discusses facial expressions during sexual intercourse.
"Love Faces" received a mixed response from critics, and reached number sixty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, becoming Songz' tenth top-five hit on the latter chart. An accompanying music video for the single was co-directed by Songz and Justin Francis, and follows Songz's girlfriend's art opening, where the two pretend not to know each other. Songz performed the track on The Wendy Williams Show and his Love Faces Tour.
"Love Faces" was written by Trey Songz along with Tony Scales, Troy Taylor and Edrick Miles, while Taylor and Miles produced the track. Songz said of the tune's conception, "I'm sure any man can relate when you look at a beautiful woman and you imagine those things, and I'm sure [women] do those things too when they get into that mental frame when looking at someone. So I thought it would be a great concept: Beautiful women make beautiful faces when they making love." "Love Faces" revolves around facial expressions that people make when having sexual intercourse. The song is a mid-tempo slow jam piano-based ballad. It opens with Songz speaking, "When I met you woman, I couldn't help but notice a face so beautiful. I imagined the faces you would make if we ever made love." Prior to the release of Passion, Pain & Pleasure in September 2010, "Love Faces" was leaked online.
