"Stop! In The Name Of Love" was released on February 8, 1965, and was included on the Supremes' sixth album, More Hits by The Supremes (1965). Songwriter Lamont Dozier said that he got the idea after he got cheated on by his girlfriend. In the heat of the argument, he said, "Baby, please stop. In the name of love, before you break my heart." The Supremes' choreography for this song involved one hand on the hip and the other outstretched in a "stop" gesture. "Stop! In The Name Of Love" reached the number one position in the United States, no.3 in Canada and Germany, and no.7 in United Kingdom.
