“Our Love” is an official 2012 dance single by the Hungarian production duo Stereo Palma featuring British singer Craig David. That billing—not “Craig David featuring Stereo Palma”—is the one used by the label, commercial stores and the official video. Reversed credits remain common because David was the better-known international name, but they obscure who led the record.
The collaboration also has no single date that explains every listing. Ego Music premiered an official promotional video on 23 May 2012. A physical Italian maxi-single is catalogued to 12 June, one digital edition to 15 June and a Scandinavian licensed package to 13 August. These are stages of the same release campaign, not proof that the song leaked months before it was officially issued.
Its documented writers are Craig Ashley David, Attila Náksi and Zsolt Brunner. Stereo Palma was the international house-music identity used by Náksi and Brunner, an established Hungarian DJ-production partnership. The core release expanded into a seven-track package featuring Stereo Palma’s radio and club versions plus remixes by Mikael Weermets, Myon & Shane 54 and B-Sensual vs No!end.
The preview that was already official
On 23 May 2012, the verified EGO TV channel uploaded “Stereo Palma feat Craig David – Our Love”. Its description introduced Stereo Palma as Ego artists and identified David as their collaborator. Because Ego Music was the releasing label, that page is rights-holder media—not an unofficial rip or fan-made visualization.
The timing explains why contemporary blogs sometimes called the song a “preview” on 24 May. Preview did not mean stolen, unfinished or unauthorized. It meant the label had begun promotion before all retail configurations reached consumers. The distinction is important in dance music, where videos, DJ servicing, digital exclusives and territory-specific packages routinely arrived on different days.
Commercial metadata confirms the campaign. Beatport lists the Ego release, while the Swiss chart-archive network’s Spanishcharts entry records an Italian Ego CD maxi dated 12 June 2012. That disc contained four extended versions: the original mix, Mikael Weermets remix, Myon & Shane 54 Summer of Love remix, and B-Sensual vs No!end remix.
Shazam’s page for the Mikael Weermets version gives 15 June as its release date and credits David, Brunner and Náksi as writers, with Weermets as remixer. Spotify’s current edition displays 13 August and identifies Ego/Vae Victis under exclusive licence to disco:wax. That later date belongs to a licensed market edition rather than the first public appearance.
The cleanest chronology is therefore: official video premiere on 23 May; Italian physical and digital rollout in June; further licensed distribution in August; additional remixes and territory-specific promotion afterward.
Who Stereo Palma were
Stereo Palma was not a singer David happened to duet with. It was the production alias of Attila Náksi and Zsolt Brunner. The Hungarian music directory Zene.hu describes the act as the international alter ego of the Náksi vs. Brunner DJ duo and names both men as active members.
Their partnership predated “Our Love” by years. Náksi brought experience as a DJ, composer, producer and label operator; Brunner worked as a remixer, engineer and studio specialist. Before adopting Stereo Palma for international house releases, they had produced Budapest Parade anthems and developed a substantial domestic dance profile. A contemporary Hungarian article from 2010 reported that the country’s professional DJ association named the pair producers of the year.
By 2012 Stereo Palma had an established relationship with Ego. The label’s video description highlighted “Lick It,” a prior single that had circulated through labels including Ultra, 3 Beat and Ministry of Sound. “Our Love” was designed as a step upward: a recognizable British vocalist placed over an energetic European club production, supported by a remix package capable of serving different DJ audiences.
Craig David between eras
For David, the track arrived in an unusually open period. His first decade had moved from the clipped two-step of “Fill Me In” and “7 Days” toward broader R&B and pop. By 2012 he was four years removed from Trust Me and two years past the covers album Signed Sealed Delivered. His major British comeback with Big Narstie’s “When the Bassline Drops” would not begin until 2015.
“Our Love” was one of several features rather than the lead single for a new Craig David studio album. MusicBrainz’s recording history places it among his 2012 collaborations, alongside “Addicted” with DJ Assad, Mohombi and Greg Parys. Treating “Our Love” as a missing David album single therefore misreads the release strategy. His name and voice were central, but Stereo Palma and Ego organized the project.
David’s vocal also differs from the rapid, syncopated delivery most associated with his breakthrough. The radio edit gives him a long, smooth melodic line built for an EDM-era lift. His phrasing softens the production’s hard surfaces, while the producers turn the title into a repeatable festival-scale hook.
That description is musical interpretation, not a documented statement of intent. What the credits establish is shared composition: David, Náksi and Brunner are all named. The sound supports the idea of genuine collaboration rather than a producer simply attaching an unrelated vocal file.
One song, several club functions
The principal radio edit runs a little over three minutes. The club mix extends the structure beyond five, allowing DJs more room for transitions. Mikael Weermets’ version pushes toward a larger progressive-house build. Myon & Shane 54’s “Summer of Love” treatment brings the melodic, trance-adjacent sweep suggested by its name, while B-Sensual vs No!end offer both edit and extended versions.
Current Spotify metadata lists seven tracks in the widely available package. An Amazon catalogue page presents the same basic configuration and durations, demonstrating that the remixes were part of the licensed product rather than later bootlegs.
Further versions complicated the picture. A Regi remix appeared on Ego’s I Love Ego Annual 2012, and a Malibu Breeze mix circulated on later compilations. Some online pages also use “Stereo Palma vs Regi feat. Craig David” as the artist line. That does not replace the original credit; it identifies a remix collaboration.
The song developed a modest chart afterlife in Germany. Archived DDP dance lists place it in the country’s club ecosystem in early 2013, months after its first Ego release. That delay is plausible for a record moving through remixes and regional licensing. It should not be used to redate the original single to 2013.
Why the release history became confused
Three forces produced conflicting claims. First, dance labels issued different formats in different territories. Second, stores frequently assign their own regional availability date to a release that already existed elsewhere. Third, retrospective discographies tend to center the famous featured singer, making a Stereo Palma-led single look like a stray Craig David track.
The official label video resolves the most important question: “Our Love” was publicly and legitimately promoted by 23 May 2012. The June dates identify the first well-documented retail packages. August reflects a further licensed edition. None requires a leak narrative.
Nor is the early “Stereo Palma Preview” a distinct composition. It refers to the promotional stage of the same song. Unauthorized copies may exist online, as they do for most dance releases of the period, but they are not needed to document or hear the record, and they should not be presented as official.
“Our Love” now sounds like a compact record of European club pop immediately before EDM fully dominated the international mainstream. Stereo Palma supplied the architecture, Craig David supplied a voice with both R&B credibility and pop recognition, and Ego supplied a multi-format route through the summer. Its chronology is untidy only if a song is expected to appear everywhere at once. In dance music, release is often a journey: video, DJ mix, maxi-single, licence, remix and chart response. “Our Love” followed that route in plain view.
