"'What Did I Do to You?'" is a song by British singer-songwriter Lisa Stansfield from her debut album, 'Affection' (1989). It was written by Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and produced by Devaney and Morris. The song was released as the fourth European single on 30 April 1990. It included three previously unreleased songs written by Stansfield, Devaney and Morris: "My Apple Heart," "Lay Me Down" and "Something's Happenin'." "What Did I Do to You?" was remixed by Mark Saunders and by the Grammy Award-winning American house music DJ and producer, David Morales. The single became a top forty hit in the European countries, reaching number fifteen in Italy, number eighteen in Finland, number twenty in Ireland and number twenty-five in the United Kingdom. "What Did I Do to You?" was also released in Japan.
In 2014, the remixes of "What Did I Do to You?" were included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of 'Affection' and on 'People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology'. They were also featured on 'The Collection 19892003' box set (2014), including previously unreleased Red Zone Mix by David Morales.
Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Matthew Hocter from Albumism viewed it as a "upbeat offering". David Giles from 'Music Week' said it is "beautifully performed" by Stansfield. A reviewer from 'Reading Eagle' opined that "What Did I Do to You?" "would be right at home on the "'Saturday Night Fever'" soundtrack."
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Philip Richardson, who had previously directed the videos for "All Around the World" and "Live Together". It features Stansfield with her kiss curls, dressed in a white outfit and performing with her band on a stage in front of a jumping audience. The video was later published on Stansfield's official YouTube channel in November 2009. It has amassed more than 1,6 million views as of October 2021.
