Love Me the Right Way

"Love Me the Right Way" is a song by Italian record producers Charlie Mallozzi and Marco Sabiu as Rapination. It features vocals by American singer-songwriter Kym Mazelle, who also is credited for co-writing the song. Released in 1992 by Arista, Logic and RCA, it peaked at number 22 in the UK, and also charted in Finland, Ireland and Sweden. In 1996, a new remix of the song was released, reaching number 20 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as number 15 on the UK Dance Singles Chart.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Any opportunity to feast on the vocal prowess of Mazelle is well worth taking—even when the track she is given doesn't quite match her talent. The Rapino Brothers concoct a pleasing, but familiar Italo-house groove that benefits from the use of techno-influenced synth bits. A hit overseas, U.S. spinners may find the "Angelino Ambiento" mix intriguing." Simon Price from Melody Maker said, "The Rapination record is just STACKED. I swear, at one point, I hear the formidable lungs of Kym Mazelle ask, How can I make you rub me the right way?"
