About
Released in November of 1991, “To Be With You” was the third single from Mr Big’s sophomore album. It eventually reached the number one spot in several countries, including the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in February 1992. Frontman Eric Martin told Pheonix NewTimes in 2011 that these lyrics were based on a true story about a real person he had a crush on in the late 1970s. The band did not originally see the song as having hit potential; that’s why two singles were released before this one.
