"I'd Rather Have a Love" is a song by American R&B singer Joe. It was written by Gerald Isaac, Derek "D.O.A." Allen, and Alvin Garrett for his tenth studio album Doubleback: Evolution of R&B (2013), while production was overseen by Allen. Released as the album's lead single, it peaked at number five on the US Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.[1]
Commenting on its release, Joe stated, that it "certainly represents my style and flavor [...] It has that really romantic element to it. It also speaks a lot of guys in a relationship that have a good thing going on but sometimes you know how we are. We forget what we have and we treat things a little differently. This is just a reminder basically, “I’d rather have love than nothing at all”. Who wants to be alone? It's a great song."[2]
