When I'm with You (Sparks song)

When I'm with You is a song released by Los Angeles band Sparks. The song relies on disco and new wave as its two de facto main genres with rock guitars audible throughout the song. The song did not chart on any Billboard charts, but was a Top 20 hit in Australia, peaking at numbers 14 and number 1 in France for six weeks,.[1] It is not known who produced this song as Giorgio Moroder produced it alongside Harold Faltermeyer, with the latter claiming to have produced much of the album. Keith Forsey, best known as producer for Billy Idol in the 1980s and then resuming in 2006, and for writing several other works including "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and "Flashdance... What a Feeling" among others, played drums on the song. The B-side is an instrumental version of "When I'm with You".
