"Love in This Club Part II" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Usher, and features fellow R&B singer Beyoncé and rapper Lil Wayne. "Love in This Club Part II" was released by LaFace Records on April 28, 2008, as the second single from Usher's fifth studio album, Here I Stand (2008). It is a sequel to the album's lead single "Love in This Club" which features Young Jeezy. Originally, vocalist Mariah Carey and rapper Plies were intended to feature on the record. Usher acclaimed the additions of Beyoncé and Wayne, and called it "a really special record". Produced by Soundz, the track samples the 1971 song "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics.

It received a mixed response from critics, who praised Beyoncé's vocals, but criticized the tune for being bland. The song appeared on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Canadian Hot 100 and the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. "Love in This Club Part II" also reached the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and its master tone received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The original song, "Love in This Club", was sung by Usher, with guest vocals from rapper Young Jeezy also present. It was written by Usher, Polow da Don, Lamar Taylor, Young Jeezy, Ryon Lovett, Keith Thomas and Darnell Dalton, with da Don producing the track. The remix features additional writing from Lil Wayne, with Soundz producing the track. Usher said in an interview with MTV of the song, "I wanted it to be something that would be a surprise, be a shock. Have shock value. That's what the remix is all about." On working with Beyoncé, he said, "It's a treat for me. I've been wanting for years to do a record with Beyoncé. Even though it's a remix, it's a really special record for me". He also spoke highly of Wayne, dubbing him "one of the illest in the game". The song was originally intended to be sung by Usher with Mariah Carey and rapper Plies. While Plies had recorded two verses for the song, he and Carey did not appear on the final cut, with Beyoncé and Wayne featuring instead. Rumours also surfaced that R&B singer Keri Hilson would make an appearance on the tune. The song, one of the last additions to Here I Stand, was recorded at Hitland Studios in Alpharetta and The Record Plant in Los Angeles.
