Background
T-Pain said during a USA Today interview that "I'm 'n Luv (wit a Stripper)" was inspired by a night when the singer took his friend to a strip club for the first time. "We got one girl to dance on him and he was just automatically trying to take her out of the club, pay for her tuition and do everything. The next couple days in the studio, everybody was still laughing about it. I started playing with GarageBand on my Mac and singing, 'I'm in love with a stripper,' and everybody was like, 'Yo, lay that down and we'll give it to (him) as a joke.' Then the label came in and we were going through some songs I had recorded. They heard the 'joke' and were like, 'This is the furthest thing from a joke. We're putting this out next week.' " The fact that it became a hit "threw me off. I was literally trying to make a bad song but it didn't work."

Composition
"I'm 'n Luv (wit a Stripper)" is a hip-hop influenced R&B song. The song centers around a man who goes to a strip club and wants to take a certain girl over to his place to spend the night. T-Pain produced the song using Apple's GarageBand music software. It utilizes a steel string acoustic guitar, hip hop drum machine, and a chiptune synthesizer known as "Future Flute". The singer on the track uses the Auto-Tune vocal effect.

A censored version of the song was made, called "I'm 'n Luv (wit a Dancer)", to eliminate the sexual references.

Music video
The original version of the music video appeared on MTV but was quickly removed due to strong sexual content. A new music video was made with less explicit sexual content.
