  • Love Behind The Melody's theme is "women in love." DeVaughn told the Baltimore Sun January 17, 2008: "This album is showing me more as the R&B hippie, neo-soul rock star. I'm singing about love - loving yourself, finding that mate, whatever the case may be."
  • Aretha Franklin is a fan of DeVaughn, and she sometimes performs this song live.
