"Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)" is a song by Swedish singer and songwriter Robyn from her first album, Robyn Is Here.

Release

It was released as the second single in Sweden in 1995. The single was not released in the United Kingdom or the United States until 1998. In the US, it was Robyn's final single release there until her 2008 comeback. It was also the final single release from Robyn for nine years in the UK until "Konichiwa Bitches" was released as the first single from her fourth album Robyn in 2007.

In Sweden, "Do You Really Want Me" became Robyn's second top ten hit, peaking at number two, becoming her highest charting single until "Dancing on My Own" entered the charts at number two for two weeks in 2010. In the US, the single was not as popular as her previous two hits, "Show Me Love" and "Do You Know (What it Takes)", peaking at number ten on the Pop Songs airplay chart. In the UK, "Do You Really Want Me" became Robyn's second biggest hit, peaking at number twenty, her second of two top twenty hits there from Robyn Is Here. The song also peaked at number forty-three in New Zealand.

Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the song: "The part nagging/part soulful vocals of this Swedish singer and the mid-tempo groove that comfortably chugs along make for a pleasant and casual pop/dance tune."[1]
