“Love the Way You Lie” is a 2010 Eminem and Rihanna collaboration produced by Alex da Kid. The song appears on Eminem’s Recovery; Rihanna later included a reworking, “Love The Way You Lie (Part II),” on Loud. In the UK, the original peaked at No. 2 and spent 59 weeks in the Official Singles Chart Top 100.
Who sings “Love the Way You Lie”?
The performers are Eminem and Rihanna. Universal Music Germany’s catalog page lists both artists and credits Alex da Kid as producer. It gives 20 August 2010 as the release date and identifies a CD single on Interscope. That date belongs to the German catalog entry; it should not be treated as a universal release date.

The UK chart record begins on 3 July 2010, while Universal Music Germany lists 20 August 2010 for its CD-single catalog entry. These dates describe different records: a UK chart appearance and a German label catalog listing. The cited sources do not explain the timing difference, so neither date should be presented as the single’s one global release date.
