"Looking for a New Love" is a song by Americandance-pop singerJody Watley. It was released in January 1987 as the first single from hereponymous debut album. The song reached number two on the USBillboard Hot 100 and charted in several countries worldwide, peaking at number one in Canada. Watley re-recorded and re-issued the song in various remixes in 2005.

Background

[edit]

While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producerAndré Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings of "I'll show you" with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of "Looking for a New Love." The released record is theeight-track demo of the song; that way the emotional urgency of Watley's vocal was still intact. One of the song's key phrases became a popular saying: "Hasta la vista, baby." It wound up on innumerable answering machines and was used byArnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 filmTerminator 2: Judgment Day (seeHasta la vista, baby).

Reception

[edit]

The single hit number two for four consecutive weeks on the USBillboard Hot 100 in May 1987 and spent three weeks at number one on theBillboardHot Black Singles chart.[3] It ranked number 16 onBillboard's year-end chart for 1987. The song also reached number one on theRPM Singles Chart in Canada. In 1988, the song was nominated for twoSoul Train Music Awards forBest R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video, andBest R&B/Soul Single, Female. She was also nominated for aGrammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
