"Mad About You" was Belinda Carlisle's first move after leaving the Go-Go's, the 1986 single that launched her solo career and led into her debut album, Belinda. The song came from Paula Jean Brown, James Whelan and Mitchel Young Evans, and Michael Lloyd produced it, with William Orbit engineering.
It did exactly what a solo debut is supposed to do. It went to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and all the way to the top of Canada's RPM 100 singles chart, and decades later it found a life onstage as one of two Carlisle solo songs folded into Head over Heels, the jukebox musical built on the Go-Go's catalog that opened on Broadway in 2018.
