Love Me for a Reason is the twelfth studio album by The Osmonds, released in 1974. The album peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard Top LPs chart. Two singles were released from the album: the title track "Love Me for a Reason" (No. 1 UK, No. 10 US) and "Having a Party" (No. 28 UK).
After a string of three albums (Phase III, Crazy Horses and The Plan) in which the Osmonds performed mostly their own material and focused on rock music, Love Me for a Reason consisted mostly of the work of professional songwriters. The title track in particular was aimed at the easy listening market, continuing a string of easy listening hits for the quintet (it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard easy listening chart).
