"He's So Shy" is a song by the American girl group Pointer Sisters from their seventh studio album, Special Things (1980).

The song's fusion of classic girl group pop, new wave-styled dance music and R&B proved the right combination to effect a Top 10 comeback for the group, reaching position number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 in October 1980 (it would hold that position during the same three weeks that Barbra Streisand's "Woman in Love" held the number-one spot).

"He's So Shy" set the prototype of the trademark Pointer Sisters sound which would afford the group its career peak in 1983–1984 with their Break Out album.

Record World magazine said that "June Pointer steps out on lead while an irresistible keyboard riff and snappy percussion drive this hit.

"[3] After checking out Snow's output and being favorably impressed, Weil had agreed to collaborate with him, the inaugural Snow/Weil composition "Holdin' Out for Love" being recorded by Cher for her 1979 album Prisoner (an eventual R&B hit for Angela Bofill in 1982, "Holdin' Out for Love" was also recorded by the Pointer Sisters as a non-album cut utilized as the B-side of their 1981 hit "Slow Hand").
