"To Be with You" is a song by American rock band Mr. Big, released in November 1991 as the second single from their second album, Lean into It (1991).
The ballad reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and topped the charts in 11 other countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, and New Zealand.
The song was written and composed by Eric Martin during his teen years, with guitarist Paul Gilbert later on contributing to its melodic arrangements.
He added that "hand-clapping, sing-along chorus entices, while front man Eric Martin's voice has rarely sounded sweeter.
[10] Jonathan Bernstein from Spin wrote, "In a year sadly lacking in palpable power ballads, these third-raters rode their Trojan horse to pole position with one of the always-spineless genre's most puny entries, "To Be with You".
"[11] The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Nancy Bennett and features the band performing in a railroad car.
