The-Dream's 2009 album, Love vs Money, features Mariah as a guest vocalist on the song “My Love.” It was released as the album's second single on February 24, 2009, peaking at number eighty-two on the Billboard Hot 100. “I wrote that record and immediately thought, ‘This is a great record for me and Mariah, if she wants to do it.’ ” The-Dream explained. “The next morning I had an interview, and I'm like, ‘Yeah, I got Mariah on this record called ‘My Love’ ’ — knowing damn well I hadn't even asked her to get on it. L.A. Reid was like, ‘What the hell is he talking about?’ But they called MC, and she got the record and was like, ‘I fuckin' love it.’ My hunch was right, I just spoke it into existence.”

I'm her baby
She's my shawty
Mmm, we rockin'
They got our shit all up in the press
Now who's right there every time you cry
Go to sleep and wake up on your side
Endless love, I'll always provide
They hatin' on us and you should know why
But who's been loving you lately
Who's willing to go half on the baby
Who, ooh, ooh's tryin' to flag our ship
They just tryin' to get the love you give
But baby,
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me whatthey know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Some men don't understand why I'll never leave you
Explain my love, I don't need to
Got everybody way up in our business
Us leaving each other stay on their wish list
I see them reachin' every time you call me, baby
They on my back like a shirt
Get off me, baby
They don't love me, let 'em wonder why
Here to stay and they going bye, bye
Who's the one calling you baby
Who's in love with yo' ass like crazy
Who, ooh, ooh's tryin' to flag down ships
Just tryin' to get the love you give
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Girl, my love is your love
There ain't nothing in this world that they can do
To make me give you up
You'll always be my girl
So, let 'em do whatever, say whatever
Cause I ain't givin' her up
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me whatthey know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
Tell me what they know about my love
