This song was written by the Motown songwriter Leon Ware and his songwriting partner T-Boy Ross (Diana Ross' brother). Ware originally intended to record it himself, but after Motown CEO Berry Gordy heard a rough version of it, he convinced Ware to give the song to Marvin Gaye. When Gaye recorded the song in 1975, the singer was inspired by his relationship with his nineteen-year-old girlfriend Janis Hunter.
I Want You to Want Me is a song by the American rock band Cheap Trick from their second album In Color, released in September 1977. It was the first single released from that album, but it did not chart in the United States. I Want You to Want Me was a number-one single in Japan. Its success in Japan, as well as the success of its preceding single Clock Strikes Ten paved the way for Cheap Trick's concerts at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo in April 1978 that were recorded for the group's most popular album, Cheap Trick at Budokan.
