Love Stuff is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Elle King. It was released physically and digitally in the United States on February 13, 2015, and on vinyl on March 3, 2015, through RCA Records. The album was mastered by Stephen Marcussen at Marcussen Mastering, which is located in Hollywood, California. The album was recorded at various studios throughout the United States, and was mixed at Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village.
The album was preceded by its lead single "Ex's & Oh's, which was released on September 23, 2014, and has since peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album made history by being the first ever number 1 album on the UK Americana chart, which launched on 28th January 2016. It also was placed No. 2 on UK Biggest Americana Albums of 2016.
Track one on the album, "Where The Devil Don't Go", was originally leaked under the false title "Mean World" and produced by Swedish DJ Avicii in 2013, who was also at the time working with Sterling Fox on his debut album, True (2013).
"Ex's & Oh's" was released on September 23, 2014 as the album's lead single. It first found success in the rock genre, where it became the second song by a solo female artist in the past twenty years to reach the top position of the Billboard Alternative Songs airplay chart and led the magazine's Hot Rock Songs chart for 10 consecutive weeks in mid-2015. The song later crossed over to a mainstream audience and became a number-one hit on the Adult Pop Songs chart in addition to spending one week in the top 10 of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. "Ex's & Oh's" received two nominations at the 58th Grammy Awards: for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
