The lyric from Haddaway's 'What Is Love' finishes with the word 'me.' The compact line is repeated throughout the chorus and became the song's most recognizable vocal hook.
Haddaway, a Trinidadian-German singer, released 'What Is Love' in 1993. The song was written and produced by Dee Dee Halligan and Junior Torello, who used a polished Eurodance arrangement built around synthesizers, a strong electronic beat, and Haddaway's emphatic vocal delivery.
The track is sometimes incorrectly treated as an American dance hit because of its global popularity, but it was first released in Germany and became especially successful across Europe. Its later revival came from the 'Roxbury Guys' sketches on 'Saturday Night Live,' which featured actors repeatedly nodding to the song. The film 'A Night at the Roxbury' expanded that association in 1998.
