Background
In the second half of 1978, Luv' reached fame in a large part of Europe and South Africa thanks to the success of smash hits like You're the Greatest Lover, Trojan Horse and the With Luv' album. The release party of the second LP (entitled Lots Of Luv') took place at the Lido Club in Amsterdam in May 1979. Two songs from this opus were released as singles: Casanova and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe (inspired by Boney M.s Rasputin).
After the release of With Luv', the producers and songwriters Hans van Hemert and Piet Souer (under the pseudonym Janschen & Janschens) teamed up once again to supervise the recording and the production of Lots Of Luv', influenced by Pop music, Disco and Latin American music sounds.

Charts
Because Luv's public was composed by a majority of teenagers at the time of the release of Lots Of Luv', the group's singles sales and their chart performance were more significant than the albums ones. In the late 1970s, the 45 PM vinyl records were popular formats among the young public whereas the full-length LPs attracted more adult listeners. This situation explains why Luv' achieved a greater success on the singles charts than on the album lists.
Lots Of Luv' reached the platinum status in the Netherlands.
