Verse 1: Torey D'Shaun
I can't love like that
Talkin' behind your back
Told me to love on you
How you gon' hate on that
Trauma in my melody
But I found me a better thing
God said "I'm your remedy
Just gotta remember Me"
This a 1 Corinthians banger (Period)
Ran until that anger change ya
I ain't worried about stranger danger
I'm tryna help, you in danger, stranger
A wise man gon' say sorry a lot
A lot of time I don't do it on the spot
God, I need what You got

Verse 2: Hulvey
Aye, keep that gossip and slander
Can't fake my manners
How can I love you, if I can't shake your hand first?
Aye, let's get honest
Lord I'll let your hand work
This world way too toxic
Please come heal this cancer
I know you all know that we want it
But how we all gon' go if we don't confront it
Just let it go, take that high road
Don't play dummy
Know I can't quote the Bible acting funny
Love's when she tell me to sing her favorite song
She can have filet mignon, or she'd rather eat at home (I like that)
Shed your blood, shine your rays, no mysterio
Couldn't leave your own 'cause

Love Like That Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Released on July 21, 2023, "Love Like That" by Hulvey featuring Alex Jean and Torey D'Shaun takes a firm stance against superficial or harmful expressions, asserting a higher standard for genuine affection and human connection. The song's central theme, reinforced throughout the chorus, is a definitive rejection of certain behaviors, declaring that true "Love don't love like that" and articulating a personal inability to engage in such ways. This repeated refrain serves as a strong declaration of principle.
Torey D'Shaun's verse immediately illustrates this theme by addressing conflict and insincerity, specifically calling out "Talkin' behind your back" and the contradiction of hating on someone while being called to love. He speaks of overcoming personal struggles ("Trauma in my melody") through a spiritual remedy, making an explicit connection to biblical teaching by labeling the song's message a "1 Corinthians banger," directly referencing a foundational scripture on love. The verse emphasizes helping those in need and acknowledges the difficulty of readily admitting fault, highlighting the aspirational nature of living out this challenging form of love.
Hulvey's verse expands on the types of behaviors being rejected, specifically naming "gossip and slander" and the inability to be genuine ("Can't fake my manners"). He questions the possibility of authentic connection without sincerity and addresses the toxicity in the world, praying for healing. This section calls for confronting difficult issues rather than avoiding them, advocating for taking the "high road" and rejecting pretense. It contrasts superficial actions with true love, providing an example of devotion before referencing a profound act of sacrifice, implying a love that is selfless and unwavering. The combined contributions of Hulvey, Alex Jean, and Torey D'Shaun collectively articulate a call to a more authentic, honest, and potentially spiritually grounded form of love, contrasting it sharply with negative interpersonal dynamics.
