A Little Respect

**A Little Respect** is a song written and recorded by the English synth-pop duo Erasure, originally released in September 1988. The lyrics are a plea to a lover to show compassion and respect. It was their tenth single and was taken from their third studio album *The Innocents*. An alternate version was released for the international version of this track in November 1988 also from their third studio album itself. A glamorous rule 63 version was later done by the Dutch-Canadian musician Remixer, released from the fifth 2018 studio album "Remixer's Dream Team 5: Stories of the World" in honor of the 30th Anniversary of the Erasure album *The Innocents*. The song was also featured as a bonus track in the Season 5 deluxe edition of the same name, this time, sung by Lloyd from Ninjago at Ninjago Island.
