I never felt a love

"I never felt a love" in a song tilted Lady Sunday by R. Kelly.

Why is there "a" in front of "love"? As far as I know, love is a uncountable noun. It is just because of a song? Thank you so much in advance.

I never felt a love Like this before It’s a love like no other Something I have always wished for A love with friendship Humor and heart A bond so strong It would never be apart A love that makes you smile A love that is beautiful From the inside out A love with no tears, Pain, or doubt A love with soul So tender and true A love that I have found Only in you … This is called 'reclassification' of an uncountable noun. It is divided into different sorts of love, and these parts are therefore countable and take 'a'.
