Release and promotion įollowing the release of his debut album, Radioactive (2011), Yelawolf had been touring with Lil Wayne and Travis Barker on the I Am Music Tour. This is what makes my music special and makes me want to keep making music. This album is in line with it having a concept and a theme. He also said, "I'm telling the truth about a lot of things. He said, "With Radioactive, I gave up a lot of creative space, and like I predicted would happen, there were some records that didn't translate to my audience." Yelawolf also said this album contains more straight up passion in the songs and there is no guidelines for the album. In April 2012, Yelawolf said, "The focus of the album is the experience since Radioactive (2011) and just putting all that into a project." He also spoke about Love Story, and how it would be different compared to his debut effort Radioactive. The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, selling 51,000 copies in its first week. Love Story received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the album's emotional feel as well as its ambition and production, but criticized its length. Love Story was supported by five singles: " Box Chevy V", " Till It's Gone", " Whiskey in a Bottle", "American You" and " Best Friend" featuring Eminem.
