"If I had to associate myself with one song, it would probably be Let Love Rule. It's so simple and to the point. It speaks for itself"
About this Quote
Brand statements usually hide behind abstraction; Kravitz goes the other way. Tying himself to "Let Love Rule" is less a humble shrug than a deliberate claim of identity: not a phase, not an era, not a genre pivot, but a north star. He isn’t picking his most technically impressive track or his biggest chart moment. He’s choosing a thesis statement.
The word "associate" matters. It’s marketing language, but he uses it like a moral anchor. Kravitz has always traded in a curated kind of throwback cool - Hendrix heat, Lennon idealism, funk and rock grit - and "Let Love Rule" is the cleanest distillation of that persona. The song’s insistence feels almost stubborn: love isn’t a private feeling here, it’s governance, a public rule. That makes the title read like a bumper sticker and a commandment at once, which is exactly why it sticks.
Calling it "simple and to the point" is also a quiet defense. Simplicity can be dismissed as naive, especially in an industry that rewards irony and reinvention. Kravitz reframes simplicity as clarity: fewer words, less wiggle room. When he says "It speaks for itself", he’s rejecting over-explanation and the modern pressure to annotate your own meaning. The subtext is confidence: the message doesn’t need a think piece because the audience already knows what it feels like to want a world that’s softer than it is.
