My Name Is Not Susan

"My Name Is Not Susan" is a song by American singer Whitney Houston, released as the fourth single from her third album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990). The song was released on June 17, 1991, by Arista Records. It was produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, and written by Eric Foster White.

The song is an uptempo new jack swing number in which Houston harshly tells off a lover who has mistakenly called her by his ex-girlfriend's name "Susan". She lets him know that if he cannot get over Susan, then their relationship is over.

The music video for the song was directed by Lionel C. Martin and inspired by the 1958 film Vertigo.

At the time, the song's modest chart reception made it the first leading Houston single to not reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, ending the singer's consecutive top ten streak, but still reached number 20 on the chart becoming her 15th top 20 hit while continuing Houston's nearly uninterrupted streak of top ten singles on the R&B chart, where it reached number eight. In the UK, it peaked at number 29.

It was also a top 20 hit in Ireland, Luxembourg and Finland.

A remix featuring British rapper Monie Love was also released, becoming one of the first times a pop/R&B artist had included a rapper in a remix, following Janet Jackson's "Alright", which remix featured Heavy D the year previous.
