Everything about the series is centered around the number 7. The main characters' names, the amount of episodes in each season, even the "&" symbol is the number 7 on a keyboard.
The title of the show was inspired by a Brandy song entitled, "1st & Love".
The series is loosely based off of the creator's real life.
"7th & Love" was conceived in late 2014 and spent about 2 1/2 years in pre-production before finally starting production in mid 2017.
There were 3 full cast changes before the final cast was solidified in 2017.
