Nu Shooz | I Can't Wait (1986)

"I Can't Wait" is a song by American group Nu Shooz, originally recorded in late 1984 and featured on the band's second album Tha's Right the following year. The song was remixed by Dutch DJ and producer Peter Slaghuis: this remixed version is the one that appears on the 1986 album Poolside.

In the United States, the remixed version of the song reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in late March 1986, remaining atop the chart for two weeks.


Soon afterwards, the song appeared on the Hot 100 chart, where it climbed to No. 3 in mid-June of that year, and remained in the top 40 for 15 weeks and it reached #2 on the R&B/Soul singles chart.


In the United Kingdom, the song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. The single returned to the U.S. charts in 2015, where it peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.


The song's American chart run coincided with that of a Stevie Nicks song also titled "I Can't Wait".
