"When I Looked at Him"
Song

"When I Looked at Him" is a single by Exposé, released on August 19, 1989. It was written and produced by the group's founder, Lewis Martineé, and it appears on their second album What You Don't Know. Lead vocals on the track were sung by Jeanette Jurado.

The song is a pensive ballad closer in form and structure to the group's #1 pop hit "Seasons Change" than to many of their more dance-oriented songs. Still, an extended "Suave 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.

Reception

Released as the follow-up single to "What You Don't Know", "When I Looked at Him" became Exposé's sixth consecutive top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #10 in October 1989.[1] The song also reached #3 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[2]
