Background[]
Laurence previously stated that he did not want to rush out a follow-up to "Arcade", but rather take his time and wait until he found the right song.[2][3] De Telegraaf announced on 14 October that fans that had attended Laurence's performance in Nijmegen were told the follow-up single would be "Love Don't Hate It".[3] Laurence called it "a song about fighting for who you are and who you choose to love" and his "answer against the hate in the world, that will always keep trying to break down what we crave most: love".[4][5]

Duncan premiered the song on Dutch television during De Wereld Draait Door on 23 October.[6]
