Background and composition

"What You Know Bout Love" was one of the earlier songs Pop Smoke had when Steven Victor first signed him. Victor recalled how excited he was about the song because he always liked the original sample, which Pop Smoke found on his own on YouTube. Victor said "What You Know Bout Love" was one of the tracks that they thought was too big to release right away. He and his team always wanted the song on the album because they thought it was at that level. Victor commented that when Pop Smoke talked about the song, he stated, "Yo, this is for when I'm in my love bag”. IAmTash explained he posted the beat for "What You Know Bout Love" in 2019. He stated that he put it up as a Playboi Carti-type beat. IAmTash announced it was just for marketing, but in October 2019, he saw a snippet of Pop Smoke dancing to it. He admitted to not having known where Pop Smoke got the beat from because he had never spoken to him. IAmTash hypothesized that Pop Smoke got it from YouTube. [1]

The song was written by Pop Smoke, alongside IAmTash, Elgin Lumpkin, and Troy Oliver. [2] IAmTash solely handled the song's production. [2] Mastering and mixing were both handled by Jess Jackson, while Rose Adams, Sage Skofield, and Sean Solymar served as assistant engineers. [2] Zene, Corey Nutile, and Dom Martin handled the song's programming, while Pierre Rogue was credited as assistant programming engineer. [2] "What You Know Bout Love" was released on Pop Smoke's posthumous debut studio album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, as the fifteenth track on July 3, 2020. [3]

Music journalists described "What You Know Bout Love" as an R&B track. [4] [5] [6] The song prominently samples the instrumental of Ginuwine's 2001 hit, "Differences", standing as one of several tracks from Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon to sample early 2000s songs. [7] Lyrically, it finds Pop Smoke detailing his infatuation with his lover, and eager to please her. [8] Jade Gomez of Paste opined that the song is a sensual, "sentimental reflection on love", and that Pop Smoke "ponders the beauty of his girlfriend going for a jog and making him breakfast." [9] In a retrospective commentary, the staff of Dazed wrote that Pop Smoke "delivers a sensitive confession of catching feelings despite yourself. 'Look, baby, I said I ain't gon' front.'" [10] They continued, saying the rapper "trip[s] slightly over the words, 'You got my heart beating so fast to words I can't pronounce'." [10] The staff stated that "What You Know Bout Love" speaks "straight to a generation raised on 90s R&B expectations of romance, searching for connection in a time when sending nudes is considered a love language." [10]

Reception

"What You Know Bout Love" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, with a number of them praising the lyrics. NME 's Dhruva Balram opined the song shows Pop Smoke "had ambitions to break into multiple genres." [5] Julyssa Lopez of The New Yorker reacted favorably to Pop Smoke's versatility, writing: "Softened performances on 'What You Know Bout Love' and 'Something Special' illuminate newly poppy pop sides of the artist, yet, even in those quieter glimpses, his presence looms large—an enduring force, too big to contain." [11] August Brown of the Los Angeles Times said the song showcases Pop Smoke's range, along with fellow album tracks "Yea Yea" and "Diana", which "have new open space and melody, with lyrics that are even sometimes tender." [12] In her album review, Hannah Giorgis of The Atlantic said, "of the slow jams that sample earlier hits, 'What You Know Bout Love' is the clear highlight. Pop Smoke sings the chorus with an arresting warmth and opens the second verse with a rare admission of weakness." [13]

Bianca Gracie of Paper magazine stated that "'What You Know Bout Love' gives Ginuwine's 2001 'Differences' smash an added dose of nostalgia." [6] Writing for Uproxx, Wongo Okon described the song as an "R&B sample trifecta." [14] In a less enthusiastic review, Slant Magazine 's Charles Lyons-Burt opined that the song strays from Pop Smoke's "patented drill and trap origins", and said it is "dreary and tepid rather than [an] exciting sonic departure." [15] The staff of Dazed placed "What You Know Bout Love" at number 14 on their The 20 Best Tracks of 2020 list, calling it a "genre-mixing crossover that deserved to make [Pop Smoke] a star" as well as "an endearing chink in the armor of his initial cockiness." [10] On social media platform TikTok, "What You Know Bout Love" was one of the top 10 songs of 2020 on the app, with over 12.1 million videos. [16] [17]
