  • "Looking for a New Love" was the first single from Jody Watley's self-titled debut, Jody Watley. "Looking for a New Love" became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1987. The single hit number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number-one on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. . "Looking for a New Love" debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at #82, and went on to become one of the strongest charting Billboard hits of the 1980s. It was one of very few singles to spend a total of four weeks in the #2 spot during the decade, beginning the week of May 2, 1987. The single was kept out of the top spot first by Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms", and then by U2's "With or Without You". In 1988 the song was nominated for two Soul Train Music Awards for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video, and Best R&B/Soul Single, Female, she was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André 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 the eight-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 by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
