"Stand Up for Love" is a song recorded by American group Destiny's Child for their first greatest hits album #1's (2005). The song was written by Amy Foster-Gillies and David Foster, with the latter also serving as the producer with Humberto Gatica. Musically, "Stand Up for Love" is a mid-tempo contemporary R&B ballad drawing influences from pop. Inspired by poverty-stricken children and families, the song was termed the "2005 World Children's Day Anthem" and used in conjunction with Ronald McDonald House Charities in order to raise awareness of the day. "Stand Up for Love" was released as the lead single from #1's on September 27, 2005, by Columbia Records and Sony Urban Music; it was the final single released before the group's disbandment in 2006. Upon its release, "Stand Up for Love" received negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its composition and inclusion on #1's. Initially, the song was the group's only single not to enter any record charts; however, it peaked at number 37 in South Korea in 2014. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Matthew Rolston, featured the trio 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 the Ronald McDonald House in Los Angeles. Several South Korean groups and singers have covered the song. Writing and production 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 lead singer Beyoncé acknowledged that they wanted to record the song for the people who help impoverished families. She furthered by 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 explained 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. "Stand Up for Love" was composed and arranged by Foster, who also served as its co-writer along with his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies.
