Written and produced by Motown CEO Berry Gordy, Jr., "Do You Love Me?" was the Contours' only Top 40 single on the
Billboard Hot 100
chart in the United States.
Notably, the record achieved this feat
twice, once in 1962 and again in 1988. A main point of the song is to
name the Mashed Potato, The Twist, and a variation of the title "I like it like that", as "You like it like this", and many other fad dances of the 1960s.
The song is noted for the spoken recitation heard in the introduction
which goes: "You broke my heart,/ 'Cause I couldn't dance./ You didn't
even want me around./ And now I'm back,/ to let you know,/ I can really
shake 'em down.".
