"I Luv This Shit" (clean version titled "I Luv This" or "I Luv This Sh*t") is the debut single by American singer August Alsina, released by Def Jam Recordings on February 19, 2013 as the lead single from both his debut EP Downtown: Life Under the Gun (2013) and debut studio album, Testimony (2014). It features a guest appearance from Def Jam labelmate, American rapper Trinidad James. "I Luv This Shit" is an R&B song about partying with alcohol and drugs. Two remixes—one featuring Birdman, and another featuring Trey Songz and Chris Brown—were released.

The song was well received by music critics, and peaked at number 48 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was promoted by a Motion Family-directed music video and performances on The Wendy Williams Show, 106 & Park and The Arsenio Hall Show.
