“Love Lockdown” is a song written and produced by American hip hop artist Kanye West. It is the first single off West’s album 808s & Heartbreak.
“Love Lockdown” was written by Kanye West less than ten days before it premiered live as the finale of the 2008 MTV VMAs on September 7, 2008.[2] West has cited the track as his “favorite to date”, saying “go where your heart takes you”. The song marks a drastic change for West, standing as his first solo single to feature no rapping, instead sung using the vocal effect of Auto-Tune. Due to negative feedback from fans, Kanye re-recorded the song. In addition to re-recording the vocals, the newer version of the song uses “new taiko drums”. The video reached number one on BET’s 106 & Park for the first time on October 27, 2008. The new re-recorded version was uploaded on Kanye’s blog on September 16, 2008.
The single, cover art, and a 30-second preview shortly appeared on the iTunes store on September 16, 2008, but the song was not available to download. The single was quickly taken off of the store, due to its being the first version. The second version of the song, along with the final artwork, was added to the store on September 18, 2008.
On November 8, 2008, an updated, remastered (and third) version of the song was released as a free download on Kanye’s official blog. According to him, the new version contains “808 and tribal drums [that] sound way fuller”.
