How Will I Know - SINGITLIVE

"How Will I Know" is a song recorded by American singer Whitney Houston for her self-titled debut studio album. The song was released on November 22, 1985, by Arista Records as the album's third single. 

Originally written and composed by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, the song was originally intended for R&B singer Janet Jackson, but she passed on it. Houston then recorded the song with altered lyrics and production from Narada Michael Walden. The lyrics speak about the protagonist trying to discern if a boy she likes will ever like her back.

Don't Lose My Number (Phil Collins) - SINGITLIVE

"Don't Lose My Number" is a song by Phil Collins from his third solo album No Jacket Required. The single was not released in the UK, though it peaked at No. 4 in the U.S. in September 1985. The B-side, "We Said Hello Goodbye" was released as a bonus track on the CD for No Jacket Required. In Australia, the single was released with the title "(Billy) Don't Lose My Number".

Collins has stated that the original lyrics to "Don't Lose My Number" were improvised, and that he himself does not fully understand what they mean. He was also clueless on what to use as a theme for the song's music video, so he decided that it would show his decision process in selecting a theme for it. In the video, Collins talks to various "directors", who all give him ill-fitting production ideas for the video. 

SINGITLIVE performs an upbeat rendition of Don't Lose My Number with a melodic blend of rolling drums and wailing guitar riffs.
