"Who's Zoomin' Who" is a song performed by American singer Aretha Franklin. It was written by Franklin, Preston Glass, and Narada Michael Walden for her thirtieth studio album of the same name (1985), with production overseen by Walden. The hit song was released as the album's second single on August 27, 1985, by Arista Records. It served as the follow-up single to Franklin's chart-topping smash "Freeway of Love", reaching number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year, and at the same time spending four weeks at the number-two spot on the Hot Black Singles chart (behind "Part-Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder and "Caravan of Love" by Isley-Jasper-Isley).[1] Elsewhere, the dance pop song entered the top twenty in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Reception
Armond White of Spin wrote the song, "may lack the weight of Aretha's golden hits, but at least acknowledge[s] that love is not smooth. The confectionary style of the song allows Aretha to pitch this message directly to the young audience who want a relevant, modern sound from her."[2]
