"Respect the Power of Love" is Namie Amuro's 12th single on the Avex Trax label. Her second single to be released after her hiatus, this single would be her first single since "Body Feels Exit" to fail to debut on the weekly charts at #1. The single was released on the same day that Amuro's mother was brutally murdered by her brother-in-law. Amuro cancelled promotion for this single and flew to Okinawa to identify her mother's body.
