Deborah Ann "Debbie" Gibson (born August 31, 1970) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. In 1988 she was pronounced the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, with her song "Foolish Beat" and she remains the youngest female to write, record, and perform a #1 single. She has gone on to starring roles on Broadway and touring musicals, as well as independent film and television work. She continues to record, and reached the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart as high as #24 during 2006 in a duet with Jordan Knight titled "Say Goodbye". In 2010, the album Ms. Vocalist, from Sony Japan was Top 10 on the Japanese Billboard chart and the first single from the album, “I Love You”, hit #1.
Debbie Gibson was born in Brooklyn, New York, the third daughter of four for Diane and Joseph Gibson. She grew up in the Long Island suburb of Merrick and was raised Catholic. At the age of five, she began performing in community theater with her sisters Karen, Michele, and Denise, and cousin T.J Normandin and wrote her first song, "Make Sure You Know Your Classroom". At age eight, she sang in the children's chorus at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. She began playing the ukulele and taking piano lessons soon after, including with American pianist Morton Estrin. She said that her household was probably the only one where bystanders would hear kids fighting over piano playing time.

Mtv's Where Are They Now? Featuring Deborah/Debbie Gibson
VERSE 1:
I wanted to write the most beautiful love song
Because we have the most beautiful love
But words never came harder
It's not as blatant as days has gone by
It's hard to be as unique as you
But since it's for you I'll try
We're you feeling what I was feeling?
We're you dizzy when you let go?
Does it seem like sometimes when you're alone
I'm the only thing you really know?
CHORUS:
'Cause I could be completely mad
Broken down in tears, sadder than sad
And if there's one thing that could change my mind
It's knowing you're not far behind...
VERSE 2:
You touch something inside of me
That's been only touched in dreams
I never felt my happiness in heartache
Go to so many extremes
We didn't say what we're supposed to say
We just were ourselves
It turned out this way
Didn't know your impact
It just crept up and swept me away
CHORUS:
'Cause I could be completely mad
Broken down in tears, sadder than sad
And if there's one thing that could change my mind
It's knowing you're not far behind...
No words can get me when they come from you
You finish everything
You follow through
It's not just a matter of consistency
Everything you do is new to me...
BRIDGE:
Everytime you talk about it baby
I think words
Do we really belong
In the same place, at the same time
Wasn't sure about faith but you changed my mind...
CHORUS:
'Cause I could be completely mad
Broken down in tears, sadder than sad
And if there's one thing that could change my mind
It's knowing you're not far behind...
No words can get me when they come from you
You finish everything
You follow through
It's not just a matter of consistency
