This song is very much about what it sounds like: making love in a club. Usher takes us through the process: sweet talking the girl, buying her a drink and tackling the logistics of just how to have a sexual escapade in a public place (solution: it doesn't matter who's watching). He even overcomes a classic obstacle many guys encounter when trying to pick up a girl in a club - her girlfriends. Usher has an answer for this too, as he's got his wingmen standing by to take care of them.
In 2007, Usher got married and had a baby, so it's unlikely that he'll be making love in a club anytime soon. Usher's marriage got a great deal of media attention, and instead of detailing his personal life on this song, he went in another direction. Usher told Entertainment Weekly: "After all of the talk about my relationship, I wouldn't come out with a song about my relationship, because you already know about that. And I'm never gonna make love in a club with a girl. I can't say that I never have, but that's in my past."
The song's producer Polow Da Don leaked "Love in This Club" online in February 2008. He admitted to MTV News: "I actually leaked it. I'm the culprit. It's no secret. I told him when I saw him that I had to put my relationship on the line. 'If it fails, I know you probably gonna be mad at me. I know you probably won't f--k with me anymore. When I spoke to Usher, he was like, 'Maaaan, why'd you do it?' He knew I leaked the record, he didn't have to ask. I was like, 'What?' He said, 'You know you leaked the record.' But he was getting good calls on it too. He wasn't mad, but he was like, 'Why'd you do that?'" Polow added that he put the song out there as he was tired of waiting on label politics. He basically followed the example of Lil Jon, who leaked "Yeah!" before Usher's Confessions was released.
