"U Love U" is the perfect blend of nostalgic synths and new school drums that paints a picture of what it’s like to be in a relationship with a person who loves themselves so much that you feel alone. The opening line, "It’s been over for a year or so, I should have left a couple tears ago," sets it right up for what is ultimately an anthem for breaking up and to invest more time in yourself.
