"Say I'm Your Number One" launched Princess in 1985, the lead single from the English singer's self-titled debut album, which followed in 1986, and it caught Stock Aitken Waterman, who wrote and produced it, going after credible soul-pop. Desiree Heslop had been a session singer who stood out as a backing vocalist on Brilliant's album Kiss the Lips of Life, and SAW brought her in to work up tracks in that vein; by her account, she got the gig by nailing a part another singer couldn't.
She and her brother, who managed her, were handed a batch of rough, unfinished tracks to pick from and help shape, and one of them grew into this. It went top ten in the UK, peaking at number seven, and in several countries across Europe and Oceania, and reached number 20 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart in America.
