Song |
"Show Me Love" is a number one hit dance song by Robin S. It is one of the most well known house anthems in the United Kingdom. In 1993, it was the lead single for her debut album of the same name, and it became her biggest hit to date. The song is often confused with the single "Luv 4 Luv", which is musically similar and was released around the same time, and with the 1997 hit "Show Me Love" by the unrelated artist Robyn.
In the US, "Show Me Love" reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and number seven on the soul chart[3], and reached number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. In addition the song went to number six on the UK Singles Chart in April 1993.
The song is famous for its use of the Korg M1 Percussion Organ Preset in the riff that is present throughout.
This song is featured on DJ Hero 2 and DANCE! Online, a multiplayer online casual rhythm game.
