"Stand Up for Your Love Rights" is a 1988 song performed by British pop singer Yazz. It is the follow-up single to her successful single "The Only Way Is Up" and was released as the second single from her debut album, Wanted (1988). The song was a hit in several European countries, peaking at number one in both Finland and Ireland. Additionally, it reached the top 10 in Belgium, Denmark, West Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Outside Europe, the song hit number five on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number eight in New Zealand and number 22 in Australia. Critical reception Bill Coleman from Billboard commented in his review, "Potential smash follow-up to "The Only Way Is Up". Inspirational vocals and rhythm track are enhanced in the fab new mixes. Don't miss the dub." Music videos Two music videos were filmed to promote the single. The first video, airing in Europe and Australasia, consists mostly of scenes of Yazz singing and accompanied by instrument players (backing vocalists can be seen from time to time too) interspersed with scenes of people dancing and hugging each other. Behind the musicians is a large board with diagrams on it similar to those on the cover of the 12-inch remix single. The second video, which was filmed for the North American market, features scenes of Yazz performing on stage with a band, and footage showing her getting ready to go on stage.
