About The Song
“Who’s Lovin’ My Baby” is a song written by Curtis Wright. It was recorded by American country music artist John Anderson and released in 1989 as a single from his album Too Tough to Tame. The album was issued by Capitol Nashville (also referenced under Universal catalog in some listings). Jimmy Bowen and John Anderson co-produced the recording. The track runs approximately 3 minutes and 23 seconds to 3 minutes and 24 seconds.
The single was issued under catalog number Universal 66020 (or related Capitol numbering). On the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, it debuted around mid-October 1989 and reached a peak of number 66. It did not chart on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks. The parent album Too Tough to Tame was released in 1989/1990 and marked Anderson’s period on Capitol Nashville following his earlier Warner Bros. years.
Recording sessions for the album took place in May 1989 at Sound Stage Studio in Nashville. Session musicians associated with the project include Reggie Young, Billy Joe Walker Jr., and Vernon Pilder on guitar; Buck Reid on steel guitar; Michael Rhodes on bass; Eddie Bayers on drums and percussion; Mike Jordan on keyboards; and Joe Spivey on fiddle and mandolin. Engineering credits include Ron Treat (recording), Tom Perry (mixing), and Glenn Meadows (mastering).
Curtis Wright is the sole songwriter credited. The track appears as the sixth song on the original album sequence of Too Tough to Tame. A music video was produced and directed by Joe Young; it premiered in 1989 and is documented in Country Music Hall of Fame archives. The song has appeared on later digital reissues of the album under Capitol Records Nashville.
Too Tough to Tame followed Anderson’s late-1980s releases and preceded his commercial resurgence on BNA Records with Seminole Wind in 1992. Other singles from the same period included “Lower on the Hog.” The album’s production continued Anderson’s collaboration with established Nashville producers during a transitional label phase.
Primary sources document consistent songwriting credit to Curtis Wright, production by Jimmy Bowen and John Anderson, the 1989 single release context, the number 66 Billboard Hot Country Songs peak, and the album placement. Official audio is available through the John Anderson YouTube channel and Capitol/Universal catalog releases.
The combination of songwriting credit, production details, chart performance as a mid-chart single from the 1989 album, and subsequent reissue history places the recording within Anderson’s late-1980s Capitol Nashville catalog period.

Lyric
Who’s lovin’ my baby and who’s a-kissin’ my gal
Who’s tellin’ her sweet lies and are making her smile
Who’s dressing her up in all the latest styles
Who’s lovin’ my baby, who’s kissin’ my galWho come callin’ on Monday when I was out of town
I came by on Tuesday but she was nowhere around
And when I asked about Wednesday, she was reading a book
I tried twice to call her and let it ring off the hookNow who’s been lovin’ my baby, who’s a-kissin’ my gal
Who’s tellin’ her sweet lies and are making her smile
And who’s dressing her up in all the latest styles
Who’s lovin’ my baby and who’s kissin’ my galI caught her sneakin’ out the back door about a quarter to ten
Headin’ who knows where, Lord, to who knows when
I had no idea that she could drive so fast
I followed close behind her but then I ran out of gasNow who’s been lovin’ my baby and who’s a-kissin’ my gal
Who’s tellin’ her sweet lies and are making her smile
And who’s dressing her up in all the latest styles
And who’s lovin’ my baby, who’s kissin’ my gal
Who’s lovin’ my baby, who’s been kissin’ my gal
