'"Who Do U Love"' is a song performed by Canadian singer Deborah Cox. It was written and produced by Larry "Rock" Campbell and Vassal Benford for her self-titled debut studio album (1995) and contains a sample of "Hold You Tight" by Tara Kemp, as written by Jake Smith, Tuhin Roy, and William Hammond. Arista Records issued the song as the second album's single in 1996.

"Who Do U Love" peaked at number 17 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100 and was Cox's first number-one hit on the 'Billboard' Dance Club Songs chart. Internationally, it reached number two in New Zealand, number 11 in Australia, number 15 in Canada, and number 31 in the United Kingdom. The song is certified Platinum in New Zealand and Gold in Australia.

Music video



The official music video for the song was directed by Brett Ratner and was filmed on the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles. It consists of Cox confronting her boyfriend (portrayed by Flex Alexander) for being unfaithful. It begins with Cox in her apartment, being confronted by her friends, who claim that Cox's boyfriend ("Flex") was out and cheating on her the night before. Cox denies it at first, until she hears her boyfriend outside her apartment with his friends. She tries to confront him, but he quickly gets defensive, so Cox's replies "Forget You". Walking down the fire escape with her friends, Cox begins to sing and dance in sync with her friends, as she walks away from Flex. Throughout, he keeps trying to win her back, but in the end, Cox refuses Flex's hand and walks away. The video ends with Flex miming "Damn!".

The dancing in the music video was choreographered by Tina Landon. The video features Nikki Pantenburg, Tish Oliver, Shawnette Heard, and Kelly Konno, all of whom were dancers for Janet Jackson during her 'janet.' era. Landon, herself, who also was Jackson's choreographer at the time, is amongst the background dancers in the video, and can be seen in the last dance sequence of the video.
