A canção foi composta e produzida por Cory Rooney e Mark Morales, que trouxeram uma influência sonora marcante ao amostrar a música "Top Billin'" do Audio Two, lançada em 1987.
A escrita da letra começou diretamente no estúdio, quando Mark Morales começou a cantar as primeiras linhas, o que levou Cory Rooney a perceber uma "pista de rap" e criar a ponte e a melodia da faixa.
Cory Rooney descreveu o significado da música como um retrato das experiências reais de Mary J. Blige, que na época sentia-se explorada por profissionais da indústria musical e canava a dor das mulheres das ruas.
"Real Love" marcou um maranhaço na carreira de Mary J. Blige, tornando-se seu primeiro hit no top 10 dos EUA, ao alcançar a sétima posição na parada Billboard Hot 100 em dezembro de 1992.
Além do sucesso na parada geral, a música realizou o feito de ficar no topo simultaneamente das paradas Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs e Rhythmic charts.
Lançada em 28 de julho de 1992, a faixa serviu como o segundo single do álbum de estreia de Mary J. Blige, intitulado What's the 411?.
