"Hide and Seek" "Symptoms of True Love"

"Hide and Seek" is the first single from Tracie Spencer's self-titled debut album. The single was released in January 1988. It was written by Lynn Davis. Although Tracie was only 11 years old when this single and debut album was released, critics and fans alike could see that her voice lurked some potential soulfulness. The theme of the song focuses on Tracie searching all over for someone (possibly someone she has a crush on), who she claims is playing "hide and seek" with her. After this single was released, the second single from her debut album, "Symptoms of True Love", was released sometime during 1988.
