I Belong to You (Whitney Houston song)


"I Belong to You" is a song performed by American singer Whitney Houston from her third studio album I'm Your Baby Tonight. It was written by Derek Bramble and Franne Golde, produced by Narada Michael Walden, and released on October 18, 1991 as the album's fifth single. "I Belong to You" was a Top 10 hit on the US Billboard R&B chart, and also charted in the UK and the Netherlands. The song garnered Houston a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 35th Grammy Awards.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote that Houston "delivers a mature and restrained vocal within a lush, urban-angled swing/R&B arrangement." They also noted its "contagious chorus". James Hunter of Rolling Stone said that the song "acts out its claim in a penthouse bedroom", and described its production by Narada Michael Walden as "high-end grooves accented by pinballing counterrhythms." Music & Media noted that "the hip hop-shaped beat is more raw than the melody line, reminiscent of Beats International's Dub Be Good To Me. Vintage Houston."

Music video

The music video features some shots from "My Name Is Not Susan" that are extended and/or unreleased in the video to that song. Former boxer heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is also featured in the video. The video also includes footage from Houston's I'm Your Baby Tonight World Tour.
