"To Be with You" closes out Lean into It, Mr. Big's second album, and Atlantic sent it out as the record's second single in 1991. Frontman Eric Martin wrote it with David Grahame, Kevin Elson produced, and it's a soft-rock ballad with a chorus that practically begs a whole room to sing along.
A whole lot of rooms did. The song spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Cash Box Top 100 as well, and went to number one in 11 other countries, Australia, Canada, Germany and New Zealand among them. Nancy Bennett directed the video, which finds the band playing inside a railroad car.
