Songfacts®:

• In this song the singer hears through the gravevine that her guy has taken up with another girl. She begs him not to break up with her, offering an unusual reason: she doesn't look good in blue.
• This was the first song Diane Warren wrote for Exposé. It was early in her career, but Warren was already an established hitmaker, scoring for the likes of DeBarge ("Rhythm Of The Night"), Starship ("Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now") and Heart ("Who Will You Run To"). All of Exposé's songs from their first album were written and produced by Lewis Martineé, who created the group. He wrote most of the songs on their next album (What You Don't Know) as well, but Warren contributed "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue." On their third album, released in 1992, Martineé stepped back and Warren became their primary songwriter, delivering songs like "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" and "As Long As I Can Dream." That album ended up being their last, even though the group was still generating hits.
• When it stalled at #17, this broke a streak of seven consecutive Top 10 hits for Exposé. The group has an interesting history. After signing with Arista Records, all three original members were replaced before their first album was released. They were based in Miami, but Jeanette Jurado, who did most of their leads (including on "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue"), came from California. Their early hits were mostly dance tunes with a Cuban flavor, reflecting their founder Lewis Martineé's heritage. They later became more ballad-oriented.
• The music video is filled with behind-the-scenes footage of Exposé on tour. It was directed by S.A. Baron, who also did Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing."
