"What's Love Got to Do with It" is a single by Warren G and Adina Howard from the Supercop soundtrack. The song both sampled and interpolated the chorus of Tina Turner's classic 1984 song of the same name, though Warren G replaced Turner's original lyrics with his own. "What's Love Got to Do with It" became a hit, making it to 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Warren G's third top-40 single, as well as 5 on the Hot Rap Singles. While a success in America, the single found greater success in the UK where it made it to #2 on the UK Singles chart.
