"Stand Up for Love" is a song by American recording group Destiny's Child from their first greatest hits album, ''#1's'' (2005). Columbia Records released it as the album's first single on September 27, 2005. The song was written by Amy Foster-Gillies and David Foster with the latter also serving as the producer along with Humberto Gatica. Musically, "Stand Up for Love" is a slow-tempo adult contemporary ballad inspired by poverty-stricken children and families. It was termed the 2005 World Children's Day Anthem and used in conjunction with McDonald's Ronald McDonald House Charities in order to raise awareness of that day. Upon its release, "Stand Up for Love" received negative reviews from music critics who criticized its composition and inclusion on the compilation album. The song became Destiny's Child's first single to fail to chart in the United States or any other major music chart. A music video was directed by Matthew Rolston featuring the band members singing the song, both individually and together. "Stand Up for Love" was performed live by Destiny's Child in November 2005 at the ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' show and on World Children's Day at Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles. Several South Korean groups and singers covered the song. ==Background and release== Canadian musician David Foster was inspired to write "Stand Up for Love" for poverty-stricken children and families which receive funds from charitable organization. Destiny's Child group member Beyoncé acknowledged that they wanted to record the song for the people who help poor families.〔 She further talked about the song, saying, "The kids we've met have no idea how much they've given us. We wanted to record this song for them, in hopes that people would hear their voice through ours."〔 Michelle Williams further said the song was her "favorite" and went on to describe it as "one of the best songs that we've done collectively", emphasizing the vocal performance. The song has been touted as the 2005 World Children's Day Anthem in conjunction with Ronald McDonald House Charities. It was used to raise awareness of that day; Destiny's Child were also global ambassadors for the 2005 program.〔 In August, 2007, the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards (SPCS) requested that New Zealand radio stations play "Stand Up for Love" to reflect on child abuse after the Nia Glassie abuse case received widespread media attention. Similarly, organizations Sensible Sentencing Trust, Family First and For the Sake of Our Children Trust, asked radio stations to play the song during a three-minute silence which was also requested by them. The song was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio stations in the US on September 27, 2005 and was released as a 7-inch single the same day. It also impacted contemporary hit radio on October 3, 2005 in that country.〔 "Stand Up for Love" became the group's last single together before their disbandment, as the second single from the compilation, "Check on It" was a solo song by Beyoncé featuring Slim Thug.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stand Up for Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
