Love Me for a Reason is the twelfth studio album by The Osmonds, released in 1974. The album peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.[2] Two singles were released from the album: the title track "Love Me for a Reason" (No. 1 UK, No. 10 US)[3] and "Having a Party" (No. 28 UK).[4]
After a string of three albums (Phase III, Crazy Horses and The Plan) in which the Osmonds performed mostly their own material and focused on rock music, Love Me for a Reason consisted mostly of the work of professional songwriters. The title track in particular was aimed at the easy listening market, continuing a string of easy listening hits for the quintet (it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard easy listening chart).
