美國女子團體［風尚］──R&B／House／流行舞曲──［What Is Love／愛是什麼］

Theres a question with so many answers
No one knows them all, no
No high powered scholar, high paid by the hour
Could come up with the answers to this complex question

What is love? I gotta know
What is love? I just gotta know
What is love? I gotta know
What is love?

Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?

How is that we can make mass destruction
With one single bomb?
But cant find a solution to one simple problem
Thats troubled us all

Why is it that we can make smart computers
That think for themselves?
But cant make a computer to match lonely people
With one thing in common to fall in love with each other

What is love? I wanna know
What is love? Really gotta know
What is love? I wanna know
What is love?

Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?

Maybe one day theyll make up a word that sums up love
That wont be so complex and fits in with the rest
But for now we are stuck
With this word and no luck

What is love? I wanna know
What is love? Now somebody tell me so
What is love? I wanna know
What is love?

What is love? I want to know
What is love? Somebody, somebody tell me so
What is love? I really wanna know
What is love? I want to know it now, now

Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?
Love, love
What is it, what is it?

在連續兩張暢銷大碟［En Vogue］〔Funky Divas／放克女伶〕後, 美國非裔R&B１９９３年８月２６日, 美國女子R&B團體風尚（En Vogue）推出首張EP迷你專輯〔Runaway Love／逃走的愛〕（East West）

仍由Thomas McElroy＋Denzil Foster製作, 樂評普遍正面。

收錄六首曲目, 包括兩首新歌──［Runaway Love］［Whatta Man］以及四首混音。

EP登上Billboard專輯榜＃４４, 副榜－R&B專輯榜＃１６

首支主打［Runaway Love］登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃５１

在副榜－黑人／R&B榜＃１５,英國＃３６

１９９３年１０月，風尚推出〔Runaway Love〕第二單曲［What Is Love／愛是什麼］

此曲是其第二張大碟［Funky Divas］的歌曲，一是其最後一首（第六首）主打

［What Is Love］沒推出實體單曲，只送到舞廳宣傳

由Denzil Foster＋Thomas McElroy創作，並製作成一首R&B／House／流行舞曲, 節奏輕快活潑

這是風尚為市場製作，唯一一首由 Maxine Jones 和 Cindy Herron 共同主唱的歌曲。

它最初是作為一首新歌收錄在《Remix to Sing》中，但錯過了製作截止日期，並被添加到《Funky Divas》中。

Billboard 的 Larry Flick 稱這首歌是［Funky Divas］中“唯一一首充滿House氣息的時刻”，並補充道，“Mentalinstrum－－他們已Smack Productions 成員文明──以厚重耐嚼的地下節奏精心修飾了這首歌，」

他很好地把這首歌帶到了有趣的新深度，同時明智地始終將那些俏皮的聲音保持在前面和中心位置。”

Pop Rescue 指出，“這首歌的某些部分”讓人想起“Deee-Lite 的《What Is Love？》、瑪丹娜的《Vogue》、Ce Ce Peniston 和 Kym Sims 的作品。” “這裡的人聲真的很響亮，有時，在所有的口語部分和採樣片段中，它聽起來不太像《En Vogue》。”

［What Is Love］登上美國Billboard副榜－舞曲播放榜＃６，舞曲單曲銷售榜＃１７
