Boy Meets Girl is an American pop music duo formed by keyboardist and vocalist George Merrill and singer Shannon Rubicam in Seattle, Washington. Their musical partnership began in the early 1980s, leading to their self-titled debut album in 1985. The album included the single “Oh Girl,” which reached number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in May 1985. The duo gained significant recognition for their songwriting contributions to other artists, most notably for Whitney Houston. They wrote Houston’s number one hits “How Will I Know” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” solidifying their reputation as successful songwriters within the pop music landscape.
Building on their songwriting success, Boy Meets Girl released their second album, “Reel Life,” in 1988. This album featured their most successful single as recording artists, “Waiting for a Star to Fall.” This song achieved considerable commercial success, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in the United States. It also reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart and was featured in the 1990 film “Three Men and a Little Lady.” The follow-up single from the album, “Bring Down the Moon,” also charted, reaching number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100.
After their commercial peak in the late 1980s, Boy Meets Girl continued to evolve their career. Their third album, “New Dream,” was released in the UK and Europe in 1990, and later remastered and released in 2005. The duo, who were married during the 1980s, later divorced but maintained their professional collaboration. In 2003, they released their fourth album, “The Wonderground,” independently. They continued to release new music into the 2020s, with singles such as “More Deeply (In Love with You)” and “We The People” in 2021 and 2024, respectively. Their songs have also been sampled and remixed by various electronic music artists, highlighting the enduring appeal of their catalog.
