Shortly after winning Mnet's talent competition series Superstar K4, it was announced that Kim was preparing to release a mini album in spring 2013.[3] However, those plans were scrapped in favor of releasing Kim's first single "Bom Bom Bom" followed by a full-length album. Upon the release of "Bom Bom Bom" in April 2013, he began recording the rest of the album.[4] In June of that year, it was announced by CJ E&M Music that the artist was in the final stages of preparing for the album.[5]
On June 18, 2013, a week before the release of Love Love Love, the album's track listing was revealed, along with a teaser image.[6] In the days leading up to the release, several more teasers were released, including the making-of videos of the recording process and a music video teaser.[7][8]
Following the release of the album, Kim appeared on Mnet's music television program M! Countdown (June 27, 2013), where he performed "Let Me Love You" and the album's title track.[9][10] He continued to promote the album on various music shows through July of that year.
The album's pre-release single "Bom Bom Bom" topped the Gaon Digital Chart for two consecutive weeks,[11] and the now-defunct Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100 for three straight weeks,[12] respectively. At the end of 2013, the song was ranked at number seven (2.9%) in the top ten of Gallup Korea's "Song of the Year", tied with Im Chang-jung's "A Guy like Me" and 4Minute's "What's Your Name?".[13] According to the Gaon Music Chart, it was the fourth most successful single of 2013,[14] selling over 1.5 million digital copies that year.[upper-alpha 1] The song also was at number seven on the 2013 year-end Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[17]
Upon release, Love Love Love debuted at number three on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart,[18] while its title track reached number two on the Gaon Digital Chart,[19] and number four on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[20] "Love Love Love" became the 104th most successful single of 2013,[21] selling over 732,000 digital copies that year.[22] As of July 2016, the album has sold about 19,900 copies in Kim's native country.[23]
