Janie Fricke signed with Columbia Records in 1977 and released her first single the same year called "What're You Doing Tonight". The song would be followed a series of top 40 charting songs in the late 1970s,[2] including "Baby It's You". The track was composed by Thomas Gmeiner and John Greenebaum.
