Dumont was inspired by the song, saying: "It's one of my favourite Whitney songs, especially the later Whitney period. It got to a point [during the recording process] where I thought maybe it might be worth bringing a singer in and changing it but I thought you know what, out of respect as [the track] started off working the song around "My Love Is Your Love", I kept it in."{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.co.uk/news/tv1w8y/duke-dumont-kept-original-whitney-houston-sample-in-i-got-u-out-of-respect|title=Duke Dumont Kept Original Whitney Sample 'Out of Respect'|publisher=MTV News UK|date=19 March 2014|access-date=28 September 2020}}

=2020: Debut album=
Dumont's debut album, Duality, was released on 17 April 2020. In an interview with Billboard, Dumont said he waited so long into his career to release his first album because "it gave me an opportunity to make an album and a body of music that has an emotional impact."{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/9360509/duke-dumont-duality-interview|title=Duke Dumont Interview on New Album 'Duality'|last=Bein|first=Kat|date=17 April 2020|magazine=Billboard|access-date=19 April 2020}} He continued, "There's a reason there's strings on a lot of the tracks. That's to give it a sense of longevity. There's a reason why the songs have chords and not just beats and synth lines. You've got to aspire to that long game."
