The song became Kelly's first number-one on the Billboard R&B chart where it peaked for two weeks.[2] It also reached the Top 40 of the pop chart, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3]
The song was also used in the 1993 movie Menace II Society.
The music video was directed by Lionel C. Martin.[4] It features a cameo appearance by actress Halle Berry.[5][6]
During the tour in support of Born into the 90's, Kelly came up with the concept for his album 12 Play. In the breakdown of "Honey Love", he addressed the audience and told them about "a dream where I made love to Mary J. Blige", which became the song "12 Play".[7]
R. Kelly mentions "Honey Love" in a verse of "I Wish": "'Honey Love' goes platinum and y'all ass come around / But y'all don't wanna raise the roof until my shit is going down."[8]
