The album's latest single, "Love Yourself," released today, and features vocals from Kanye West as well as production by DJ Camper. The single once again proves Blige to be at the top of her game, displaying the songstress' signature R&B sound while delivering yet another powerful and soulful vocal performance.

"Love Yourself" follows the successful tracks "U + Me (Love Lesson)" and "Thick of it." The latter marks a career milestone for Blige. Co-written by MJB along with Jazmine Sullivan, the song spent 16 weeks at #1 on the Urban AC Chart, marking her longest running #1 single on that chart. What's more, "Thick Of It" climbed to #1 faster than any other song since 1995, when Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" reached No. 1 in its second week. Only three songs have ever reached No. 1 in 4 weeks or less (including "Exhale"). "U + ME (Love Lesson)" is currently #6 on the Urban AC Chart.
