"White Love" is a single by Japanese girl group Speed. It was released on October 15, 1997.[1] The song marked a point in Speed's career when their style shifted from dance music to other genres, such as ballads.[2] It was number-one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[3] It was the 10th best-selling single in Japan in 1997, with 1.164 million copies sold[4] and it has sold a total of 1.845 million copies.[5]

In 2012, Su-metal of the kawaii metal group Babymetal performed a cover during their Legend "D" show at Akasaka Blitz, which coincided with her 15th birthday. The song was chosen because it was a hit in 1997, the year of her birth.[6] In 2022, the J-pop duo ClariS performed a cover for their mini-album Winter Tracks.
