How Am I Supposed to Live Without You

"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" is a song originally recorded by Laura Branigan in 1983. The second single from Branigan's second solo album Branigan 2, it spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. It was a Top 10 hit on the ARC Weekly Top 40 chart and peaked at #12 on the Hot 100. Branigan's single also hit the #1 spot on the Adult Contemporary charts in Canada. This success came without benefit of a music video. Michael Bolton co-wrote the song, and it was his first major hit as a songwriter. The song was originally offered to Air Supply, but after rejection was later offered to Branigan.

The song has been recorded by dozens of artists around the world since, in English and Spanish^{[citation needed]}. In 1989, Bolton recorded his own version of the song, and it hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.

The Puerto Rican Latin Pop singer Danny Rivera has sung by the 1990 Spanish song title "Como He De Vivir Sin Tu Cariño".
