"Pusher Love Girl" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his third studio album, The 20/20 Experience (2013). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley, and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy. The song is an ode to the "intoxicating effects" of love and sex.[1] "Pusher Love Girl" is a slow-tempo R&B song that goes through several different styles during its eight-minute duration. It opens with an orchestral intro, before transcending into its "funky main section". The song concludes with an outro that sees Timberlake rap over futuristic hip hop beats, comparing several narcotics to the love of his significant other.

"Pusher Love Girl" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, many of whom regarded it as one of the best songs on The 20/20 Experience. Some critics, however, were critical of the song's length and its lyrics. Following the release of The 20/20 Experience, due to strong digital downloads, it reached number 15 on the South Korean singles chart, number 64 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 122 on the UK Singles Chart.

Timberlake debuted "Pusher Love Girl" live during his comeback performance at DirecTV's Super Night in February 2013. He also performed the song at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Timberlake also performed the song during the Legends of the Summer Stadium Tour (2013) and The 20/20 Experience World Tour (2013–14). At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards (2014), "Pusher Love Girl" won the award for Best R&B Song.
