SEAN-O-VISTA

Houston sang this very upbeat and light, but the lyrics are quite emotional, which is why they included “(Who Loves Me)” after “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” in the song title.

George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam wrote this song. They met when they both performed at the wedding of Seattle socialite Susan Boeing and began playing clubs in the Northwest US. In 1985, they released an album as Boy Meets Girl and wrote Houston’s hit “How Will I Know.”
