Ternyata kehamilan anak pertama tidak menjadi alasan buat Beyonce untuk berhenti menyanyi sejenak, menari dan mempromosikan albumnya. Beyonce justru semakin giat dalam perilisan video klip. Setelah Countdown, Beyonce segera menggarap video terbaru, Love on Top yang mengambil konsep performing video.
Bermula dari penampilannya di MTV Video Music Awards 2011 lalu. Sembari menghangatkan pemberitaan mengenai kehamilan pertamanya, Beyonce juga memberi kejutan dengan menjadikan panggung MTV VMA 2011 sebagai panggung perdana Love on Top di publik.
Lagu ini menjadi pilihan yang tepat bagi Beyonce untuk menggambarkan kebahagiannya menantikan kelahiran anak pertamanya dengan Jay-Z. Sebuah single garapan Taylor Knowles ini mengisahkan suatu fase kebahagiaan yang memuncak dalam suatu hubungan. Di mana Beyonce menjadikan fase kehamilan anak pertamanya sebagai fase Love on Top-nya dengan sang suami.
Lagu mid-tempo ini memadukan suara backing-vocal dan alunan instrumen trombone yang membuat lagu ini menjadi spesial dan berbeda dengan track lainnya di album 4. Vokal Beyonce pun tereksplor dengan baik terutama di bagian reff yang kian memainkan improvisasi nada tinggi. Lirik yang dinyanyikan pun cukup puitis dan romantis, berisi puji-pujian yang kata Beyonce, “Every time you touch me I just melt away.”
Performing video yang diusung dalam video klip Love on Top mencakup empat scene, satu sesi latihan dan tiganya lagi sesi performing sesungguhnya. Beyonce masih memberikan koreografi yang terbaik dan penampilan yang enerjik dalam video berdurasi lebih singkat ini. Setidaknya ia ingin menunjukkan sosok diva sesungguhnya yang tetap akan konsisten dalam perkariran musik. Itulah yang selalu kita harapkan.

Bring the beat in!
Honey honey
I can see the stars all the way from here
Can't you see the glow on the window pane
I can feel the sun whenever you're near
Every time you touch me I just melt away
Now everybody ask me why I’m smiling from ear to ear (they say love hurts)
But I know (it's gonna take the real work)
Nothing's perfect but it's worth it after fighting through my tears
And finally you put me first
Baby it's you
You're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need to make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Ooh come on baby
You put my love on top top top top top
You put my love on top
Ooh ooh
Come on baby
You put my love on top top top top top
You put my love on top
My love on top
Baby I can hear the wind whipping past my face
As he turns the night away
And boy your look it tastes like a night of champagne
As I kiss you again and again and again and again
Now everybody ask me why I’m smiling from ear to ear (they say love hurts)
But I know (it's gonna take the real work)
Nothing's perfect but it's worth it after fighting through my tears
And finally you put me first
Baby it's you
You're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only one I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call
When I need to make everything stop
Finally you put my love on top
Ooo! Baby
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top
You put my love on top
Ooo Ooo! Come on baby
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top
My love on top
Baby it's you
You're the one I love
You're the one I need
You're the only thing I see
Come on baby it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I that always calls
When I need you baby everything stops
Finally you put my love on top
