"This House" is a song by the British singer-songwriter Alison Moyet, released on 30 September 1991 as the fourth single from her third studio album, Hoodoo (1991).
Moyet's record company, CBS, wanted her to continue producing pop hits but this left the singer feeling artistically compromised and under pressure to deliver.
Muff Winwood of the label's A&R division granted Moyet permission to record the album she wanted to, with Hoodoo being released in April 1991.
"[13] The Greyhound (Loyola University Maryland) stated, "Without missing a beat, Moyet slides earily into the beautiful balladry of "This House".
"[14] Tom Demalon of AllMusic picked the song as a standout track, commenting, "...she's still more than capable of expressing heart-aching vulnerability, though, especially on the gorgeous 'This House,' where a split-second pause gives way to her passionately imploring, 'Who will take your place?
'"[15] Loz Etheridge of God is in the TV noted: "Those who only know her for her earlier works will be somewhat bewildered at the depth of emotion displayed on the likes of the tortured 'This House'.
