Love Enhanced Single Collection (stylized as LOVE ENHANCED ♥ single collection) is the second greatest hits album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro under the Avex Trax label. The album covers 11 of the 12 singles she released after returning from a one-year maternity leave in 1998. The album excludes the single "Toi et Moi" which can only be found on its retailed single. The single was also excluded from her Genius 2000 album.
Amuro's second compilation is different from her first in that the majority of the album features new versions of previous singles. The only song that wasn't reworked is the track "Lovin' It (Namie Amuro & Verbal)." The initial track list of the album included the song "Put 'Em Up feat. Chili from TLC". However, the song was scrapped from the album and was ultimately released as its own single in 2003. "HimAWArI" is the only song on the album to be included that was not a single. Amuro explained that during the original recording of the song for the "Break the Rules" album she was sick. She wanted to record a new version since it had become a fan favorite.
The album was only moderately successful and she ultimately decided not to tour in support of it that year. This album also contains the last of the work she created with Tetsuya Komuro; the producer who wrote all her previous material. "Love Enhanced" in itself is a turning point for Amuro. After this album she retooled her image, took creative control of her career and made strides to be accepted as an R&B vocalist.
On 28 January 2004, a DVD-Audio version of the album was released.
The album was certified platinum by the RIAJ in 2002.
