After the release of "Energy" with Juicy J and "Party Favors" with Young Thug, Tinashe described "Superlove" as a "celebration of happiness", further stating that the song "celebrates the kind of happiness that is so immense and infectious, that you can't help but to rejoice in it." She concluded her statement, saying, "I hope to eulogize this wonderful energy and make people feel good, love harder, and dance together."

Composition

Produced by the-Dream and Tricky Stewart, "Superlove" is an electropop and Miami bass song inspired by the 1980s and 1990s era. MTV's Madeline Roth found similarities between the song and Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass", calling the latter "a poppier cousin". while Ben Dandridge-Lemco of The Fader compared it to Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo".

Rolling Stones Brittany Spanos called it "bouncy" and "bubbly". Adelle Platon of Billboard found the song "infectious". In addition, the publication ranked "Superlove" at number 72 on their 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016 in December 12, 2016 and enlisted the song at 20 Sadly Underrated Pop Songs from 2016 on December 29; stating it as "unjustly ignored single".
