Martineé , the song was released as the second single from What You Don't Know on August 19, 1989, by Arista Records . Lead vocals on the song were performed by Jeanette Jurado , while Ann Curless and Gioia Bruno sung backup .
Background and release
The song is a pensive ballad closer in form and structure to the group's 1988 No. 1 hit single "Seasons Change " than to many of their more dance -oriented hits. Still, an extended mix appeared on the CD version of What You Don't Know , and an acoustic version of this mix was included as the B-side to the single.
Released as the follow-up single to "What You Don't Know ", "When I Looked at Him" became Exposé's sixth consecutive Top 10 hit in the United States, peaking at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1989.[ 1] It also reached number three on Billboard 's Adult Contemporary chart.[ 2]
