Unleash the Love is the second solo studio album by American singer Mike Love. [1] It was released on November 17, 2017. [2]
Before Unleash the Love, Mike Love had not officially released a solo album since 1981's Looking Back with Love , released 36 years earlier.
Unleash the Love initially had the title of Mike Love Not War, [3] but that got shelved during the recording process. The term Mike Love Not War had previously been used in a variety of contexts, such as being placed on t-shirts and adopted as a title for an extended play by indie pop group Smudge. Love would later revisit this title with a 2023 solo album.
Speaking with The Guardian in 2013, Love stated that he'd "stockpiled" a collection of songs for possible release "for decades". However, he'd hesitated due to needing to assemble the proper "team to get my music out". Broadly speaking, Love aimed to have the release remark upon "the hopes and aspirations of those on the planet who like to see more positivity and harmony." [3]

Love and Wilson also share the lead vocal on the song.
"Dance, Dance, Dance" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1965 album Beach Boys Today!.

Summer Days thus returned the band's music to simpler themes for one last album, with Brian Wilson combining Capitol's commercial demands with his artistic calling.
