I say a prayer with every heartbeat. Watch the music video for Whitney Houston x Clean Bandit’s “How Will I Know” — out now!
Global (29 October 2021) – “How Will I Know” has just been remixed and re-released with a joyful music video… 36 years after Whitney Houston sang the song originally.
“How Will I Know” was originally 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.
The song became Houston’s second number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 in February 1986, spending two weeks atop the chart and also became her first chart-topper on the Canadian RPM Top 100 Singles chart. It also reached the top 10 positions in Australia, Sweden, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom, and the top 20 positions in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.
And now, 36 years later, the Clean Bandit’s are bringing it back!
Celebrating the 36th anniversary of the release of Whitney Houston’s 1986 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit song, RCA Records has re-released it accompanied with a joyful video.
