Don't You Want Me - The Human League - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The 1980s gave us an infinite vault of hits, from acid house bangers to R&B smoothies and electro-pop titans like this one. Written by John William Callis, Philip Oakey, and Adrian Wright, "Don't You Want Me" is an enduring staple of 1980s playlists and is hailed as one of the biggest, catchiest songs of the era. When the hook-filled "Don't You Want Me" was released as the lead single from The Human League's third studio album Dare (1981), it shot to the top of the charts and became one of the decade's best-selling singles. The song's dazzling, zippy melody and creative, future-facing use of synthesizers blazed a trail for the explosion of electronic pop in mainstream music. "Don't You Want Me" brought huge success to The Human League, who were at the forefront of the so-called Second British Invasion of the US; aka the new wave of synth-pop artists who dominated the cultural conversation in the early 1980s.
