"In the Name of Love" is a 1982 single written and performed by British pop band Thompson Twins, at the time a septet (Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, Joe Leeway, John Roog, Chris Bell, Peter Dodd, and Matthew Seligman).

[2] Upon its release, Thereza Bazar of Dollar, as a guest reviewer for Flexipop, believed "In the Name of Love" would "go down well at one of the trendier discos such as Heaven or Le Beat Route, where people dance to the hits of the future".

She continued, "The Thompson Twins are on the verge of breaking into the big time.

"[3] In the US, Record World called it a "driving electronic rocker" with "frantic guitars, keyboards and percussion.

"[4] The track was remixed in 1988 by Shep Pettibone and included as "In the Name of Love '88" on the Greatest Mixes compilation album.
