The song was produced by Dizzee Rascal with vocalist and London rapper Jeanine Jacques featuring on vocals.[2] The song opens with a stuttering voice repeating the song's title, leading into a bass-heavy rhythm.[1]

The Wire described "I Luv U"'s impact on grime as "analogous to "Anarchy in the U.K." for punk rock."[3] The track was named as one of the best songs released between 2000 and 2003 in the 2008 book The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present.[1]
