Who Do You Wanna Be


"Who Do You Wanna Be" is the eighth single by Dutch girl group Luv', released in the autumn of 1979 by Philips/Phonogram Records. This song appears on the formation's debut album With Luv' and their first compilation "Greatest Hits". It was the trio's closing release under their contract with Philips/Phonogram just before they joined CNR/Carrere Records.

Song history

When record producer Hans van Hemert and Luv' planned to leave Phonogram Records in 1979, the label decided as a counterattack to release Who Do You Wanna Be only in the Netherlands. This song was taken from the group's first opus With Luv' and later included on a Greatest Hits album. The girl group didn't promote the song as they focused on their Carrere releases. That's why it failed to top the music charts.

Cover version

In 1979, Irish pop group Gina, Dale Haze and the Champions released a cover version of this track. This followed a cover version of You're the Greatest Lover - both singles made the Irish top ten.
