Background

"Live Out Your Love" was written by Kem along with fellow R&B singer Toni Braxton and songwriter Derek "DOA" Allen, while production was helmed by the latter.[1] Built upon a "soothing instrumental,"[3] the duet has the pair singing about an everlasting love that seems to get better by the day.[3] The collaboration was sparked in 2019 when Kem was invited to perform at Braxton's Valentine’s Day concert at the Fox Theatre in Detroit.[1] While working on his 2020 album Love Always Wins, Kem began to envision “Live Out Your Love” as a duet and asked Braxton to join him. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Braxton recorded her vocals on her own and sent them back to Kem.[1]
