"A Little Respect" is a song written and recorded by British synth-pop duo Erasure, released in September 1988 by Mute.

"[9] Another Melody Maker editor, Everett True, remarked that "it takes some kinda fool genius to create fast songs of the scope and emotional rush" of the "heart-stopping" "A Little Respect".

"[8] In a 2009 retrospective reviewe, Darren Lee from The Quietus declared it as "a song so giddily exuberant that even the tawdry spectre of Wheatus can't quite tarnish its lustre".

[12] Chris Gerard wrote, "Opening with that distinct, stately keyboard riff before an acoustic guitar comes in and adds to the rhythm, 'A Little Respect' is Erasure at their apex.

The heavily rhythmic background, the positive and self-affirming lyrics, Andy Bell's note-perfect vocal delivery... it's a combination that came together to form a song for the ages.

At a lean 3:33, Clarke and Andy Bell compress synth-pop innovation and disco-pop immediacy into a perfect moment of transcendent pop glory.

Initially proving popular among fans, social media videos of Hull Kingston Rovers supporters singing the song following their semi-final victory against Warrington Wolves went viral, resulting in Andy Bell granting the club's players and staff permission to record a charity single in aid of two local children's charities and the Terrence Higgins Trust.

[44][45] In response, an Australian ABBA parody group called Björn Again covered two Erasure songs—"A Little Respect" and "Stop!

Ayhan Sahin of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the version is "surprisingly polished, paying serious homage to Brit synth popsters Andy Bell and Vince Clark [sic]".

He goes on to say that the structure of the song stays "intact, as does that super-sticky chorus, with acoustic and electric guitars playing back and forth in place of the '80s electronic beats".
