'Unconditional Love' was the second single from Donna Summer's eleventh studio album She Works Hard for the Money (1983) and featured British reggae group Musical Youth, though uncredited. In the U.K., the song became Summer's 14th Top 20 Single, and it was included in the 2018 Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. The music video takes place at a school with Summer paying the role of a teacher in a heavy coat. After class, Summer removes the coat to reveal the present lot, and goes outside to sing and dance with the children of the school.
