"Love On Top" is a song recorded by American singer Beyonc for her fourth studio album 4 (2011). Inspired by her state of mind while playing Etta James in the 2008 musical biopic Cadillac Records, Beyonc wrote the song alongside Terius Nash and Shea Taylor; its production was handled by Taylor and Beyonc. A throw-back to 1980s music, the uptempo R&B song exhibits style similar to that of Stevie Wonder, Huey Lewis, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and the Jackson 5, among others. While incorporating four key changes, Beyonc adopts a high range when repeating the song's chorus towards the end of the song. She sings about a person whom she can always call, even after facing grief and hard work, finally earning their love and respect.

According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Music Publishing, "Love On Top" is mainly written in the key of C major with a tempo of 99.2 beats per minute.[26] Beyonc's vocal range in the song spans from the low note of G3 to the high note of B5.[26] "Love On Top" is set as "both a sweet love song and an expression of girl power" as stated by Georgette Cline of AOL Music.[20] Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club and David Amidon of PopMatters noted that "Love On Top" features "mature lyrics" alongside Beyonc "sounding vocally giddy and aggressive while portraying the message."[10][27] Lyrically, the song finds Beyonc as the female protagonist expressing the happiness she feels to have her love interest in her life.[20] "The languid, synth-soul smoocher" allows for an "enjoyably euphoric tone" before she chimes in with "Bring the beat in!", introducing "a mid-album interlude of mid-[19]80s pop", as stated by Andy Gill of The Independent as well as Hamish MacBain of NME.[8][23]

"Love On Top" was highly acclaimed by critics. Rich Juzwiak of The Village Voice complimented its "easy listening/easier dancing boogie vibe".[24] Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club said "Love On Top" had an up-tempo nature, saying that it was possibly the only "first-listen earworm" on the album with its "breezy, retro-soul style."[10] Matthew Horton of BBC joked about the climax of the song, stating that the album 4 "was named after the four key changes in the final, teetering chorus of 'Love on Top' to ram the point home."[29] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune commended the song for putting a "bounce" in Beyonc's step.[30] Similarly, Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone named "Love On Top" "a blast" as Beyonc creates a modern take on old-school Whitney Houston.[9] Hamish MacBain of NME favored the song's up-tempo style, stating that it was much needed after the "ballad-heavy" first half of the album.[8] Priya Elan of the same publication commented that it has "100 watt smile lyrics".[21] Stating that "Love On Top" is reminiscent of 1980s R&B, Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine complimented the song as a "Halcyon love song, perfect to be whisked away to".[31] Spence D. of IGN commented that Beyonc's "cheery disposition" and the "brash horns" will remind listeners of "damn good" mid-1980s R&B can be.[13] While including the song as a "must hear" from the album, Andy Gill of The Independent named "Love On Top" as "a small footnote to Stevie Wonder's innovatory genius."[23] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian praised Beyonc's vocals and called "Love On Top" a "well-written" song.[32]

I am excited to give my Australian fans the World Premiere of 'Love On Top'! Thank you for the amazing response to the song at radio. I have worked very hard on this video, this song is special to me and I had an idea for the video based on some of my favorite male groups. I remember seeing videos from New Edition, the Jackson 5 and the Temptations, bands I love for their beautiful harmonies, and precise choreography and I always wanted to make a video and be part of a boy group myself. It was so much fun. I put my heart and soul into 'Love On Top' and I hope you love it.[96]

After the release of the sneak peek, Michael Bivins of New Edition told Theybf.com, "When I saw Beyonce on the MTV awards in the sequined jacket this year and with the dancers in R&B group positions, I knew then she was showing love to NE! The video teaser was part two... the classic video 'If It Isn't Love' reference."[97] After the release of the full video, Johnny Gill told S2S magazine that he considers "Love On Top"'s video to be a tribute and that Beyonc as well as her backup dancers did a great job of capturing New Edition's essence. In his opinion, that is why "she is one of the greatest living performers."[98] He went on to say, "[The video] was so cool. There's no more Michael Jackson but I think she's a beast to begin with. It's such an honor to have someone who knew, and knows, her history and to be aware of where it all started."[98]

At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Beyonc performed "Love On Top" after having said on the black carpet about an hour before going on stage that she would be making an announcement.[131] Before beginning her live performance, she said to the audience: "Tonight I want you to stand up on your feet, I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me", giving a hint about the news that she had alluded to on the black carpet.[131] She took the stage in "a purple spangly tuxedo jacket, black pants and white tuxedo shirt, still rocking her fierce six-inch heels of old, pregnant or not", as stated by Gil Kaufman of MTV News.[131] As she performed, her blond hair blowing in the wind, and backed by six dancers wearing similar shimmering tuxes, Beyonc gave new meaning to the lyrics: "Now everybody asks me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear."[131] She kept her dancing to a minimum for most of the song as she held onto the microphone stand while singing "Love On Top".[131] Eventually making her way to the extended lip in front of the stage and throwing down, she encouraged the audience to put their hands together.[131] Beyonc ended the performance by dropping the microphone, opening her jacket, rubbing her belly, and thus announcing her pregnancy to the world.[131]

Describing Beyonc as "a veteran on the VMA stage", Kaufman wrote that "the audience was clearly feeling the love also" and praised how she "[got] a bit wild as she brought the tune home with some of her signature."[131] Staff members of the AOL's The Boombox commented that the lyrics of the song "felt especially meaningful" to announce her pregnancy to the world.[132] Staff members of Rolling Stone called the performance "spectacular"[133] while Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times called it "rousing".[134] Claire Suddath of Time magazine commented that "this offering from the reigning queen of pop music is relatively toned down and yet she still looked and sounded better than nearly everyone else at the awards."[135] Similarly, Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "If you had to pick one defining moment, it would have to be Beyonc's baby bump. The diva's rendition of 'Love on Top' might not have been her best VMA performance ever, but there's no denying the sheer electricity in the room when she ended her set by proudly revealing her pregnant tummy."[136] A critic of Essence magazine concluded that "[Beyonc's] performance of 'Love on Top' at the 2011 VMAs [...] will surely be one of the year's most memorable pop culture moments."[137] The writers of MTV News placed the performance at number 4 on their list of Best Live MTV Performances of 2011.[138] It was stated that Beyonc was in "typical Sasha Fierce fashion" while the performance was described as "ebullient".[138] Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine put the performance at number two on her list of "Beyonce's 5 Biggest TV Performances" adding that it was "one of the most memorable TV moments of her career".[139] Dan Hyman from Rolling Stone listed the performance and Beyonc's announcement of her pregnancy at number 17 on the list of "The 24 Wildest Moments in VMA History",[140] while Billboard listed it at number 7 on its list of "MTV VMAs' 10 Best Performances Ever" in 2013.[141]
