On June 14th, Common released a new single titled HER Love. Via his social sites he explained the meaning of the song and why he decided to do it. He wrote the following:
“Today I’m releasing my first single, HER Love, and it’s about my love for Hip Hop and how much the culture has given me. How much this art form means to me and how I appreciate what the new artists are doing. I was blessed to have a J.Dilla beat to write this song to and it was a beautiful fit for what I wanted to say. I asked Daniel Ceasar to sing the hook and we asked special guest Dwele to do his thing as It was only right to have my brother from Detroit rock on a Dilla track. I am just grateful to be putting this song out and to the culture and art form that changed my life. Love.”
