"Don't You Want Me" was the third single from Jody Watley's self-titled debut, Jody Watley. "Don't You Want Me" was one of the biggest crossover singles for the year 1987. After her previous single failed at Mainstream radio, but hit at dance and R&B, MCA records decided to go for a more commercial sound. "Don't You Want Me" reached the top ten of the US pop, dance and R&B charts.
