"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" is a song originally recorded by Laura Branigan in 1983. The song, written by Michael Bolton and Doug James, was recorded by Bolton later the same decade. As the second single from Branigan's second solo album Branigan 2 spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at number twelve on the Hot 100 in early-October 1983. Branigan's single also hit the number-one spot on the Adult Contemporary chart in Canada. This success came without benefit of a music video. Branigan performed the song on the syndicated music countdown show Solid Gold in late 1983 and on the popular holiday special Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
Since Branigan introduced "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", the ballad has been recorded by dozens of artists around the world, in English and Spanish, becoming something of a modern pop standard. Instrumental versions of the song have been recorded featuring variously the piano, guitar, saxophone, pan flute, steel drum, and music box.
