美國拉丁裔實力歌手[艾琳卡拉]──合成流行/舞曲搖滾/後迪斯可──[Why Me/為何是我]
Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
?Til you made me out for a fool
Left with nothing to do
cant forget about you
With my heart in my heart
Pack my bags, leave my memories with you
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I dont want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?
Why me?
Why me?
Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly
Why me?
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong
Now I know what it takes
cant repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
itll give me what I?ll call my own
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I dont want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?

1980年,美國拉丁裔實力歌手女主角艾琳卡拉(Irene Cara)以賣座青少年音樂劇電影[Fame/名揚四海]走紅.
1983年,卡拉再度以[Flashdance/閃舞]電影主題曲[Flashdance... What a Feeling/閃舞……多棒的感覺]拿到美國等地冠軍,全球暢銷,登上事業巔峰.

1983年11月,艾琳順勢推出第二張個人大碟[What a Feelin/多棒的感覺](Network/Geffen發行)
由喬治.莫羅德 (Giorgio Moroder)主製作九首歌,
詹姆斯.牛頓.霍華德(James Newton Howard)製作一首歌.
樂評好壞兩極.
儘管卡拉更習慣於作曲,但她將大部分職責交給了莫洛德,並將大部分歌曲創作重點轉移到了歌詞上。
她說:“我通常寫音樂;只有與喬治合作,我才成為一名作詞家。因為他是作曲家,所以我別無選擇。”

[Flashdance... What a Feeling/閃舞……多棒的感覺]為名義上首支主打,
1983年10月,為搭配大碟發行,艾琳推出第二單曲/專輯實質首支主打[Why Me/為何是我]
由卡拉,Giorgio Moroder,Keith Forsey合寫,
Giorgio Moroder製作成一首融合成流行,舞曲搖滾,後迪斯可的歌曲
編曲豐富,與Giorgio Moroder1980年創作/製作的名曲[Call Me]的連復段相似
節奏緊湊,節拍有勁,獲得好評.

[Why Me]登上美國告示牌單曲榜#13 副榜──舞曲榜#7 黑人榜#41
英國#86 西德#17 瑞士#4 澳大利亞#5(1983#43)
瑞典#6 紐西蘭#24

儘管單曲成功,但[What a Feelin](Network/Geffen唱片發行)

瑞典#3 瑞士#8 挪威#12 芬蘭#17 德國#29 澳大利亞#79 加拿大#83
