In Private

"In Private" is a song by British singer Dusty Springfield, released as a single on 20 November 1989 by Parlophone and EMI. It was Springfield's third single in a row to be a chart success, after an absence of nearly two decades from the charts. Both "In Private" and Springfield's previous single, "Nothing Has Been Proved" were produced by Pet Shop Boys, who helped return Springfield to prominence with their 1987 hit collaboration "What Have I Done to Deserve This?". Both Springfield singles were included on her 1990 British album Reputation. "In Private" peaked at number 14 in the British charts and was a top ten hit in West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Israel and Sweden. In 2025, Billboard magazine ranked it number 26 in their list of "The 100 Greatest LGBTQ+ Anthems of All Time".
