With Ur Love

After the mixed response and the commercial success of her lead single "Swagger Jagger", Lloyd decided to release "With Ur Love" as the album's second single. Lloyd commented about the difference between the tracks: "It's very different. The two songs are miles apart. My first single showed my attitude and aggressive style, while this one is more stripped-back with me being me. It basically gives you a good insight into what the album is going to be like, so I think it was a good choice."{{cite news|last=Corner|first=Lewis|title=Cher Lloyd interview: 'I won't let myself be a one-hit wonder'|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a348587/cher-lloyd-interview-i-wont-let-myself-be-a-one-hit-wonder.html|access-date=18 June 2012|newspaper=Digital Spy|date=2 November 2011}} It received its first airplay on 21 September 2011. The recording has brought comparisons to Avril Lavigne, and Lloyd herself described the track as one where she, "actually get[s] to sing instead of jumping around like an idiot."{{cite web|title=With Ur LovebyCher Lloyd|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=24067|work=Songfacts|access-date=18 June 2012}} Both of the featured artists wrote their own verses. The US version does not feature Posner. The album liner notes of the US version of the album states that Posner did not co-write the solo version of the song. The German digital download features a different cover.{{cite web|url = https://music.apple.com/de/album/ur-love-feat-mike-posner/495758927?l=en|title = iTunes (DE)|website = iTunes|access-date = 5 December 2015|date = 17 January 2012}}

"With Ur Love" was written by Savan Kotecha, Shellback, Max Martin and Mike Posner, while production was handled by Martin and Shellback. While talking to Digital Spy's Robert Copsey, Lloyd commented about working with Max Martin, stating: "Max is a very private person. He doesn't rant and rave about his music, which is why I loved working with him. I want to be like that - I want to get my music out but not scream and shout about it."{{cite news|last=Copsey|first=Robert|title=Cher Lloyd interview: "People will eat their words"|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a333427/cher-lloyd-interview-people-will-eat-their-words.html|access-date=18 June 2012|newspaper=Digital Spy|date=4 August 2011}} Posner commented in an interview for Digital Spy about the collaboration:

"It was a great record. I think if it does get released, I think it could have the same kind of success. Max Martin and Cher did a really strong song. During my time with Cher I worked with an incredible singer, and I don't think she gets enough credit for her singing ability as she deserves. There's no autotune on there. It's just really, really great, but I think people forget about that because she can rap so well also. I don't see why she couldn't compete in the US. She's a great artist."{{cite news|last=Corner|first=Lewis|title=Mike Posner interview: 'Cher Lloyd is an incredible singer'|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a380967/mike-posner-interview-cher-lloyd-is-an-incredible-singer.html|access-date=18 June 2012|newspaper=Digital Spy|date=15 May 2012}}

"I used to always think I was bulletproof/ But you got an AK and you're blowing through," Lloyd sings.{{cite web|last=Copsey|first=Robert|title=Cher Lloyd ft.

"I feel like I'm on top of the world with your love," she insists in the chorus. Posner sings "I don't even care if you sing my songs wrong", referring to when Lloyd forgot the words to "Cooler Than Me" at the Judges Houses. Bradley Stern of MuuMuse commented that the groove is reminiscent of Rihanna's "What's My Name" and "Rude Boy", while Katherine St. Asaph of Pop Dust perceived that her vocals on the song has elements of Rihanna, intermittently daubed with shades of The Cardigans' Nina Persson.{{cite news|last=St. Asaph|first=Katherine|title=The Singles Bar: Cher Lloyd, "With Ur Love" ft.

The song received favourable reviews from music critics. Robert Copsey from Digital Spy wrote: "It's sweet and sugary with an addictively sharp edge." Nick Levine from BBC Music wrote that the song is "as easy to resist as a pie cooling on your neighbor's windowsill." Jon O'Brien from AllMusic wrote that the song "is a charming M.I.A.-inspired ditty that fuses a lolloping childlike bassline with bouncy beats and some surprisingly sugary-sweet melodies, although Mike Posner's guest rap is the pure definition of 'phoned-in'."

Joe Rivers from No Ripcord agreed, writing: "It's another good, catchy song, save for a hateful Mike Posner guest spot, which paints him to be the kind of lecherous predator you pray doesn't take your daughter to prom."{{cite news|last=Rivers|first=Jon|title=Cher Lloyd: Stick + Stones - Music Review - No Ripcord|url=http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/music/cher-lloyd/sticks-stones|access-date=17 June 2012|newspaper=No Ripcord|date=11 November 2011}} Alexis Petridis of The Guardian stated: "It is a far better pop single than you might expect a former X Factor contestant to dish up." Ben Chalk from MSN Music described it as "a plaintive slice of R&B-infused pop with a big fat shiny chorus, it plays to her strengths far better."{{cite news|last=Chalk|first=Ben|title=Albums of the week: 7/11/2011|url=http://music.uk.msn.com/features/albums-of-the-week-7-11-2011|access-date=18 June 2012|newspaper=MSN Music|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717081350/http://music.uk.msn.com/features/albums-of-the-week-7-11-2011|archive-date=17 July 2012|url-status=dead}} Alex Denney from NME commented:

"Another perky tune with crunkin', stutterin' beats and big doe eyes on the chorus from Cher. Also features a 'soulful' turn from Mike Posner (me neither) on the middle eight, in which he talks about getting to third base with his date — possibly Cher, but it doesn't bear thinking about too much."{{cite news|last=Denney|first=Alex|title=Cher Lloyd, Sticks + Stones' - First Listen|url=https://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=140&title=cher_lloyd_sticks_stones_first_listen&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1|access-date=17 June 2012|newspaper=NME|date=26 November 2011}}

A remixed version of the song featuring American rapper Juicy J was released on 16 April 2013 for digital download on the iTunes Store. Juicy J is not featured in the US music video, despite the remix being sent to US radio.

The UK version of the music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on 5 October 2011.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpO86pGHAM&ob=av2e|title=Cher Lloyd - With Ur Love ft.

The U.S. version of the music video was recorded at "The Hollywood Castle" on 15 January 2013 in Los Angeles, California. It was released on 14 February on VEVO.

Lloyd is seen laughing with some friends as she sits in a bedroom. She then goes and walks through the streets of London with her pals as giant heart-shaped balloons float along the streets and many colorful little ones are released into the air. Posner is seen singing from a rooftop with the backdrop of London's skyline behind him.{{cite web|title=Cher Lloyd debuts sweet and girly With Ur Love video with Mike Posner|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/music/877401-cher-lloyd-debuts-sweet-and-girly-with-ur-love-video-with-mike-posner|work=Metro|date=3 October 2011}}

In the US version of the music video, Lloyd is seen living in a large castle with her friends, who also seem to have the same supernatural powers as Lloyd. On a rainy day a couple of men are attracted to her castle and are soon invited in by Lloyd. The group sits down to a dinner together. Lloyd then puts a spell on the men for them to act more outgoing and talkative during the meal. Each of the men go to a different part of Lloyd's castle where they are seduced and enchanted by her friends. Lloyd's friends each steal essence from the men which is put in a small bottle. Lloyd and her friends put the essence in a cauldron and she casts a spell on it, which creates her ideal mate.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIus_aDVIeo|title=Cher Lloyd - With Ur Love|last=Cherlloydvevo|date=14 February 2013|access-date=6 December 2017|publisher=YouTube}}

On 4 November 2011, the song debuted at number five in Ireland, becoming Lloyd's second top ten single in the country.
