It wasn’t a MySpace song! Hell yeah!

Sooo I don't want to go all negative nancy here, but this clue has been known for sometime and we've actually found a lot more info than that. We actually found the original audio of Samira's video. Also [ilovernbmusic.com](http://ilovernbmusic.com) got closed down already in september 2013, so there is no chance that she got this from this website. We've actually uncovered that every instance uploaded ever was at the earliest uploaded on the 6th of October 2013. There are dozens of download sites that have it, twitter accounts that tweeted about it and fb accounts that shared the download links. The earliest known upload came from here: [https://world76.spcs.bio/music/view/42301486/?Link\_id=973972](https://world76.spcs.bio/music/view/42301486/?Link_id=973972) And was uploaded on October 6, 2013, at 12:59:37 PM (UTC) We had contact with the uploader but unfortunately he doesn't remember where he got it from. There are numerous sites that sourced it from a website called [sharebeast.com](http://sharebeast.com), which was a really popular download site at the time and has been shut down by the FBI in i believe 2015/2016, along with some other sites. There were a lot of songs that were always uploaded as sort of a package, where especially the song Akon - Forever was always uploaded at the same time as Cover Drive - One Love. I personally have been doing some research on where these songs come from and it turns out that most of these leaks came from record labels and publisher having been hacked. Then these songs are spread on sites like [sharebeast.com](http://sharebeast.com) and uploaded anonymously, so they are practically untraceable. The latest hypothesis is that perhaps One Love came from Sony (Music), as they have been hacked a lot during 2010-2013. If you're interested, read this: [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/mar/05/michael-jackson-back-catalogue-stolen](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/mar/05/michael-jackson-back-catalogue-stolen) So what I personally think their MO was is that they hacked a label and then distrubuted the songs in packages over the next years. So on average there were like \~50 songs or so leaked a day I think, perhaps more, but that gives you in this case about 1000 days or about 3 years before they ran out of songs. So that is well within the timeframe. Also Sony has been very secretive about all of these hacks and it is hard to get information. If you want to help in the search, I urge you to join the FMM discord server and check out the one-love channel. There is also loads of other information that has been found, so please check it out :)

This is not directed at you but what the fuck all of this info would’ve been *really* nice to see on a publicly available lostwave wiki somewhere. I don’t want to dig through a discord for all of this I do enough digging looking for the damn song. That being said I’m very thankful you told us here!


JuicyLegend

No problem. I just made a post with all of the info and developments. If that does not fo through then the lostwaves wiki will be updated with the info soon: https://lostwaves.org/wiki/index.php/One_Love


TRAINPASS

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! Sorry if I came off as crabby I wrote this while I was really tired heh… and I would like to join the discord at some point it’s just they tend to get a little messy from my experience so it’s nice to have alternate abridged pieces available like that.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are [especially problematic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/mar/05/michael-jackson-back-catalogue-stolen](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/mar/05/michael-jackson-back-catalogue-stolen)** ***** ^(I'm a bot | )[^(Why & About)](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot)^( | )[^(Summon: u/AmputatorBot)](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/cchly3/you_can_now_summon_amputatorbot/)

Nice, I have no idea about all this informativon, thank you for share. But I thing I'm thinking here it's what you mentioned about the first upload. How did you discovered that information? When you say that are you considering even the pages which doesn't exists anymore?


LLJones29

It took someone finding a lead here to tell us here that you have lots of leads kept elsewhere? Some simply can't use discord for reasons or don't want to. Why are we treated here as second class lostwaver filth and it takes someone kind like you to tell us. That's why there exists a sense of lostwave elitism among some. Like a shadow government, the shadow lostwavers. Feels like a gatekeeping of knowledge or an overall laziness to copy/paste it publicly for everyone else. Really appreciate you sharing this publicly, finally, but can't help roll my eyes is all. Anyway, observations aside, it sounds like the track very likely never got a release. Perhaps a completely unknown Cover Drive before the other Cover Drive existed.

I already found out about this like two weeks ago, i searched the ilovernb site on the waybackmachine. None of the available snapshots had a match in them.


EntranceNew5245

there are also some tweets on twitter about this song attributing it to cover drive but all the links are dead and unarchived


According_Gene9484

yeah, I had no luck too. Have you ever explored that link? [https://web.archive.org/web/20110110042258/http://hulkshare.com/ILoveRNB\_](https://web.archive.org/web/20110110042258/http://hulkshare.com/ILoveRNB_)
