Produced by Quincy Jones, Melissa left Arista in 1984 and signed a record deal with MCA. The album was Mathematics and it was filled with great songs but it wasn't promoted much by MCA. The first song released was the worse song on the album "Mathematics" which didn't help things. When your first single flops folks often don't play the second one. The second song was this one "Energy". Back in the day most everyone that I played it for, liked it. But it got very little airplay. PITY!

  • I didn't remember this song until I heard the chorus. I think she did an interview on ET to  promote this album.

  • @TheMariposaloca yes...she did...I have that interview on tape somewhere too.

  • Highly underrated time for Melissa. Energy was a great pop song. Mathematics not only had uptempo pop/ it also included a couple of great adult/contemp. tracks ( Restless Love & Just one lifetime. Her catalogue has been released on cd now minus "Mathematics". I wish someone would get the rights from MCA. Mathematics is a fun album. Very simple.

  • So true...this album was great!  Sure hope Wounded Bird can get the rights to release it on CD!

  • In many ways, the "Math" album showed Melissa at her very best! I cannot believe how well she did during the mid-80s. She had changed so much. Perhaps it was how well she evolved with time that made her so amazing.

    I want her entire catalog to be available again... not just some of it...

  • Happy 58th to Melissa today 2-15-09 Sunday! I pulled out my dozen LP's and the last 6 on CD - plus my 1980 VHS of her live concert!

see all

  • Nice song, it was also made a cover in Spanish "HOy Por Ti, Manana Por mi" By the best pop group in Mexico -FLANS. This song was a real hit all over latinamerica, compared to Melissa's in the states.  I would've supported this song in english as well.

  • one of many great 80s tunes to dance to
