“Mathematics” was the first single and the title of Melissa Manchesters only MCA Records LP. With this single Melissa collaborated with the legendary Quincy Jones who produced the track and pop star Robbie Nevil who also was a co-producer, writer and did the songs arrangement. The 12″ remix was done by John “Jellybean” Benitez. It seamed that all of the right elements were in place for a hit single, to re-start her career sadly this was not to be, the song only peaked at #74 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was her last chart single. The album “Mathematics” struggled to reach #144 on the US album chart.

The b-side “So Full Of Yourself” is a non-lp track and was co-written by Tom Snow who has written many hits for Olivia Newton-John including “Physical” and “Heart Attack”..
