"What Is Love" is a song recorded by Trinidadian-German Eurodance artist Haddaway for his debut album, The Album. The song was released on 8 May 1993 as the album's lead single. It was a massive hit in Europe, becoming a number-one hit in at least 13 countries and reaching number two in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Outside Europe, the single was a hit worldwide, reaching number 11 in the United States, number 12 in Australia, number 17 in Canada, and number 48 in New Zealand. The song earned Haddaway two awards at the German 1994 Echo Award, in the categories "Best National Single" and "Best National Dance Single".

Background[edit]

"What Is Love" was written and produced by German music producer and composer Dee Dee Halligan (Dieter Lünstedt a.k.a. Tony Hendrik) and Junior Torello (Karin Hartmann-Eisenblätter a.k.a. Karin van Haaren) of Coconut Records in Hennef (Sieg) near Cologne. They were waiting for the right singer for the song. Trinidadian-born singer Nestor Alexander Haddaway was then chosen to sing it. He used to work as a producer, dancer and choreographer before he was signed to Coconut Records.[5] In a 2012 interview Haddaway said about the making of "What Is Love":

The female vocal on the track, meanwhile, was a stock sample released on the Zero-G sample compilation CD "Datafile 1", which was produced by Zero-G co-founder and Jack 'N' Chill member Ed Stratton, aka Man Machine, and was aimed at dance producers, DJs, programmers and artists.[7]

Release and legacy[edit]

"What Is Love" was released in Europe in May 1993 and in the US in August 1993. It hit number one in 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Zimbabwe. In Sweden, Germany and the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 2. In the latter, the song reached that position on the UK Singles Chart in its fifth week on the chart, on June 27, 1993.[8] Additionally, "What Is Love" was a number 3 hit in Iceland, and it managed to climb up to the top spot also on the Eurochart Hot 100. Debuting at number 87 on 28 August 1993, the song reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The song also peaked at number 12 in Australia. By March 1994, worldwide sales of "What Is Love" had already reached 2.6 million.[9]

When asked about the meaning of "What Is Love" in a 2015 interview, Haddaway said:

Critical reception[edit]

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis called "What Is Love" "one of the 1990s' quintessential dance tunes".[11] In 2015, Victor Beigelman from The A.V. Club deemed it a "Europop banger that more than 20 years later remains relentlessly catchy and far more profound than it ever had any right to be."[12] Larry Flick from Billboard described it as a "glorious pop/house ditty", and stated that "wildly catchy chorus is complemented by a slick, synth-happy arrangement. Haddaway will conjure up images of Seal and Sydney Youngblood with his worldly baritone delivery. A sure-fire dance hit that has the muscle to push its way onto pop formats with ease."[13] Milo Miles from The Boston Globe wrote, "He pours such delicacy and anguish into the short phrases they become loud whispers that stay in the ear. With perfectly lubricated synthesizers bouncing away behind him, Haddaway gets precious mileage out of minimal lyrics."[14] Student newspaper Columbia Daily Spectator said it "will transport you instantly to the golden age of house music."[15] Jim Farber from Daily News noted that "What Is Love" "uses every sound it has to punch the beat: a stabbing synth line, a tense bass, an uplifting lead vocal and an encouragingly frantic female voice to back it up. It's a sound at once insinuating and insistent, sensual and wild." He also deemed it "the world's natural followup" to Robin S.' "Show Me Love".[16]

Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented, "Try sitting still seconds after this upbeat entry kicks in." He also noted that Haddaway's style is "reminscent [sic] of the Fine Young Cannibals and just as exciting."[17] Mike Wood from Idolator called it a "catchy" anthem, that "permeated our collective consciousness given the heavily-repeated airplay".[18] Music writer James Masterton stated in his weekly UK chart commentary, that the song "is undoubtedly one of the best soul releases of the year."[19] Pan-European magazine Music & Media said it has a "fast house beat augmented by Nestor Haddaway's deeply soulful vocals. This is definitely on par with anything that has come out of Chicago's deep house scene for quite some time."[20] Wendi Cermak from The Network Forty described the track as "splendiferous", and noted that "the eargasmic synth stabs in the extended mix are pulling even odds in Vegas for dance-floor-filling capability and the edit screams for radio airplay..."[21] Luke Turner from The Quietus wrote that "What Is Love" "bangs because it manages to be two things—a terrific soul tune but also rather stern as well, with infernally naggy synth lines and drilled repetition in the rhythms."[22]

Music video[edit]

The music video of "What Is Love" was directed by German music video director Volker Hannwacker.[23] It features Haddaway in a mansion pursued by three femme fatales, one of whom is a vampire.[24]

In popular culture[edit]

"What is Love" experienced a revival as the song from the Saturday Night Live "Roxbury Guys" sketches later expanded into the 1998 feature film A Night at the Roxbury, where two brothers (played by Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell) frequently went to dance clubs with a third person (including actors such as Sylvester Stallone and Jim Carrey), credited as "Barhop". It was also used in the 2013 video game Saints Row IV and included as one of the tracks in Just Dance 2017.[36][37] The song was also sung by Ulysses Klaue (played by Andy Serkis) while being interrogated by Everett K. Ross (played by Martin Freeman) in the 2018 film Black Panther.[38]
