"Love Shoulda Brought You Home" is the first solo single from Toni Braxton. The song written by Babyface, Daryl Simmons, and Bo Watson, and was featured on the Boomerang soundtrack. It served as the follow-up to Braxton's duet with Babyface entitled "Give U My Heart". Those pair of songs were submitted to Anita Baker but due to her impending pregnancy, she had to decline.[1] The single became a top forty hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and her second consecutive top five hit on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.
The music video showed an angry Braxton—alternating between a long sweater (as a dress) and a suit complete with tie. She is fed up with her boyfriend and testifies that if he really cared, then love should have brought him home last night.
The 1992 single was included on Braxton's eponymous debut album that arrived in stores during the summer of 1993.
