In the late 1970s, Skyy signed to Salsoul Records. After several albums that saw moderate success in the R&B market, the group crossed over to the mainstream in a big way with the release of the Skyy Line album in late 1981. Featured on this album was the single "Call Me," which gave the group their first (and only, to date) top 40 hit on the pop charts, peaking at #26 in 1982. It also became the first of several #1 R&B hits for Skyy. Meanwhile, the group continued to record for the Salsoul label up through the release of their 1984 Inner City album (Salsoul would fold in 1985), scoring several additional hits on the R&B chart during that time.
In the mid-1980s, the group signed with Capitol Records and released their next album, From the Left Side in 1986. Apart from the top ten R&B single, "Givin' It (to You)," the album saw limited success, and the group left Capitol soon thereafter.
Things were looking rather bleak for the band by the late 1980s. However, after signing to Atlantic Records, Skyy launched a major comeback in 1989 with the release of their extremely successful Start of a Romance album. This release spun off two consecutive #1 R&B singles, with both the title track ("Start of a Romance") and the Quiet Storm classic, "Real Love" claiming the top spot. "Real Love" also became the group's second and final crossover pop hit peaking at #47 on the Top 50 Billboard charts in early 1990. The first single released from the album, "Love All the Way" had also cracked the R&B top 50. Unfortunately, by the release of the Nearer to You album in 1992, the hits had again dried up, and the band has not released a new studio album since then.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And for your love there's nothing I won't do
I'd swim an ocean
Climb a mountain high
What does it take to make you mine all mine?
Got super love

So I can love you all over
What does it take to win you over?

Skyy’s “Superlove” song is a playful and catchy tune about a person who is deeply in love with someone and will do anything to win them over. The song starts with the lyrics “Don't you know I got a thing for you, and for your love, there's nothing I won't do.” The singer is openly confessing their love for someone and stating that they are willing to do anything to make their love interest theirs. The use of rhetorical questions such as “What does it take to make you mine all mine?” conveys the sense of desperation and eagerness in the singer's pursuit of their love interest.
The chorus, with its repetition of “Super Love” and “Super Duper Love”, creates an infectious hook that sticks with the listener long after the song has ended. The second verse talks about the singer’s persistence in their pursuit of love. They ask the love interest what they are going to do, and plead with them to express their feelings so that they can finally “love you all over”. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the singer's unwavering commitment to their love interest.
Overall, “Superlove” is a playful and light-hearted song that ultimately conveys the idea that love is worth fighting for, even if it means swimming an ocean or climbing a mountain. The lyrics and catchy beat make it an enduring classic that still resonates with listeners today.
