Where's the Love

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Template other "Where's the Love" is a song by American pop rock band Hanson. It was released on September 1, 1997, as the second single from the band's debut album, Middle of Nowhere (1997). Internationally, it was a successful follow-up to "MMMBop", reaching the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Finland, Hungary, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, "Where's the Love" did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 since it was not released physically (which was a rule at the time), but it peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart and number six on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated the song five out of five and named it Single of the Week, writing, "The siblings prove "MMMBop" was no fluke with this strong follow up, which shows their musicianship to greater effect than their debut. A second number one is a possibility." David Fricke from Rolling Stone stated that "you don't have to be a Bop magazine subscriber to fall for the cheesy bounce" of "Where's the Love". Alan Jackson from The Times said, "The "MMMBop" brats are back with a similarly infectious and chartbound slice of kid-rock."
