"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" is a song originally recorded by Laura Branigan in 1983. The second single from Branigan's second solo album Branigan 2, it spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. It was a Top 10 hit on the ARC Weekly Top 40 chart and peaked at #12 on the Hot 100. Branigan's single also hit the #1 spot on the Adult Contemporary charts in Canada. This success came without benefit of a music video. Michael Bolton co-wrote the song, and it was his first major hit as a songwriter.
The song has been recorded by dozens of artists around the world since, in English and Spanish[citation needed]. In 1989, Bolton recorded his own version of the song, and it hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.
