SUPER LOVE SONG is the forty-forth single by B'z, released on October 3, 2007. Along with the year's earlier single "Eien no Tsubasa", the single would first be collected on the band's sixteenth studio album, ACTION, prior to being added to 2008's 20th anniversary compilation B'z The Best ULTRA Pleasure.
While the title song of the single was not used as a tie-in promotion, the second B-side, "FRICTION", was included on the soundtrack of the Electronic Arts racing video game "Burnout Dominator" in all regions. The game saw its release in Western territories in March before being released in Japan in late September. The song was also used as the theme to music show "JAPAN COUNTDOWN" for the month of October. Earlier in the year, the song was available internationally on iTunes as part of the game's soundtrack beginning in April, making it available well before the other two tracks on the single. As of December 2012, the song is no longer available on international iTunes stores. However, the song would also appear in another installment of the same video game series when it was included in 2009's "Burnout Paradise". This was the band's first original English composition since 2005's "Brighter Day" and was their latest game tie-in until "Into Free -Dangan-" served as the global theme to the 2012 game Dragon's Dogma.
