"Waiting to See You" is a song by American singer-songwriter and musician Dan Hartman, which was released in 1986 as a single from the film soundtrack of Ruthless People.

[4] The video features Hartman recording the song in the studio with his backing band, with interspersed shots from Ruthless People.

[7] In a review of "Waiting to See You" as a single, Billboard noted, "Hartman's contribution to the Ruthless People collection rocks out to a marching band rhythm, complete with foursquare, thumping bass drum.

"[8] Bill Novak of The Sheboygan Press gave the single a three out of four star rating and commented, "Good beat, fair singing, and it will probably make it, since it's from a big summer film.

"[11] Brian Chin of Billboard felt the song "may be another club late-nighter" like Hartman's "I Can Dream About You".
