Despite a two-year wait and several buzz singles (see Official Girl), Cassie‘s sophomore album has yet to receive a title or release date. To any fans hoping to badger Bad Boy into dropping the album already, it won’t do any good; a release date will only be announced once one of the singles makes a strong impact at radio. Hoping the fourth time’s the charm, Cassie’s released yet another. Wondering why a certain man makes her weak in the knees, the singer’s come to the conclusion that it Must Be Love. If you can get past all the tabloid/blog rumors, you’ll notice that Diddy‘s opening and closing verses are a great complement to Cassie’s vocals, as is in-house producer Mario Winans’ smooth guitar beat. Must Be Love should be an instant hit with the longtime Bad Boy fans, but does it have enough modern appeal to achieve the goal mentioned above?
Fans can check out a behind-the-scenes video of the Must Be Love studio session here.

diddy always knows what he's doing, SOLID verses |

This song isn't bad, but it didn't really appeal to me. The production was decent but I just don't think she can compete with other top female R&B artists in the game. Diddy was ok on here. In rotation.

I love Diddy the business man, but have never really cared for his work on the mic. However, on this new record with Cassie, he compliments her vocals very nicely. Nothing too much, just enough. Radio worthy? Oh yes.

Eveybody can talk his way through a song. This is terrible. The "rap" also sucks. Stick to what u can do best, which is looking good. But just shut up for the rest of your life and make room for real talent. What a wack song, awful. The beat and lyrics are good tho.

Im not really feeling the production sounds really dull and her vocals seem really weird on this song. Her voice is pretty bad for whatever reason and Diddy decent. Average song

This track is real smooth and laid back, which is probly why Diddy's flow sounds OK on here. His flow always sounded better on slower songs to me(I Need a Girl, I'll Be Missin You) I think the guitar sample and production are beautiful, but IDK if radio will appreciate somethin like that right now. I just cant hear that on the radio. Cassie's vocals are nice, but she has a little bit of that Britney Spears poppy tone sometimes. Good enough for my rotation, we'll see if radio agrees...

Better then I expected, Cassie isnt the greatest vocalist though she does the job (damn that picture is good, lol) & Diddy actually complimented the song reasonably well (well done Diddy's ghost writer). The production was pretty sweat as well by Winans who's definitely a underrated producer

cassie's vocals fit upbeat/club songs better....she needs a club hit for good radio success
maybe after more club hits, and building her rep more, then the song might be good for radio its still coo tho |

4 starz for the picture only XD -2 for Diddys efforts
Its not a bad song but I agree that its dull. Those jingles in the back are damn annoying and I actually only find the hook a little interesting to play. But i wont play it, cause it lacks simply on too many areas |

Beat is good but could be more appealing... its lackin that little extra goodness to make it a hit... & I do agree that her vocals should be turned up a lil ....

i just wanna know when cassie is gunna stop playin and marry me....lol
she got a beautiful voice, she always sounds great on every track, she is one of the few female artists that i can vibe to as a guy, she dont sound like everyone else, and she is consistent with bringing something new to the table, the beat was tight, but diddy on the beggining like that, made it sound like this was an old school joint where he was on MJB songs, but still when he did his verse it was oook, nothin extradinary.. but cassie deffinetly shocased skills |

Love the old school feeling of the beat. Cassie has potential she just never gets the right songs to push. She did well on this but I think she can do better for her to start buzzin like "Me & You" again. When that track came out it was everywhere. She needs another hit like that.

DAMMIT!!! ONCE AGAIN DIDDY IS, "ALL on the Record, All in the Video's" just as the infamous Suge Knight once put it at the music awards! He is just a user of his artists...Whoever is hot, he will jump on their record and use them until they are no longer hot, and then jump on the next act. I hope he doesn't do this with Day 26!
Anyway, Cassie has nice vocals on here and the beat is really soothing. Diddy is AAAAIIIGHT on here. He is what he is and I can't hate. Make that Money playa! Rotation!

I think Diddy has finally found where Cassie should be at vocally. I like this track...sounds like in another world it could've been tailored for Amerie. It's hot though and shows definite growth for Cassie!

Not my type of song, rather boring. I like slow songs but not those like this! Anyway I must admit it's really sexy and although I'm not a fan of Cassie's voice she sounds great here, she perfectly fits her veres. It's not more than ok to my ears though. Diddy did well in his verse
