"With Ur Love" is a song by British singer-songwriter Cher Lloyd featuring vocals by American singer Mike Posner. The single was released on 4 October 2011 . It was written by Shellback, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin and Mike Posner, and it was produced by Shellback. Musically "With Ur Love" is a mid-tempo song, with elements of bubblegum pop and R&B. Its lyrics talk about the euphoria of being in love. The song debuted at number four in the United Kingdom, becoming Lloyd's second top ten single.
A solo version was released on iTunes in the US on 28 August 2012 as a promotional single from the album. Lloyd confirmed that the song would be the next US single on Today on 30 August 2012, but her label decided to maintain the song as a promotional single to support her album and announced "Oath" as the second US single instead. In January 2013, "With Ur Love" was announced as the third single from the US release, and was added for airplay on 5 February. On 16 April 2013, a remix version of the song featuring Academy Award-winning rapper Juicy J was released digitally and to US radio airplay.
After the mixed response and the commercial success of her lead single "Swagger Jagger", Lloyd decided to release "With Ur Love" as the album's second single. Lloyd commented about the difference between the tracks: "It's very different. The two songs are miles apart. My first single showed my attitude and aggressive style, while this one is more stripped-back with me being me. It basically gives you a good insight into what the album is going to be like, so I think it was a good choice." It received its first airplay on 21 September 2011. The recording has brought comparisons to Avril Lavigne, and Lloyd herself described the track as one where she, "actually gets to sing instead of jumping around like an idiot." Both of the featured artists wrote their own verses. The album liner notes of the US version of the album states that Posner did not co-write the solo version of the song. The German digital download features a different cover.
