You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else"

It was #1 on the Hot 100 for 6 weeks, and remains her only #1 single. It was also a top 10 hit in the U.K, and #2 in New Zealand (her third biggest market). Mary changed up her entire look and style for this video, and it was a great change for her.
