"Love Power" is a song by Dionne Warwick and Jeffrey Osborne. It was written and produced by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager for Warwick's album, Reservations for Two (1987). Released as the album's lead singe, it became Warwick's sixth number-one hit on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The track reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Love Power" marked her final appearance in the top 40 on the latter chart.[1]

"Love Power" was Osborne's only number-one Adult Contemporary hit (although he had previously reached No. 2 on that chart), and it would be Osborne's last appearance in the Billboard Hot 100 as well, since "She's On the Left" (his only number-one R&B hit) would only reach number 48 on that same chart the following year.
