Him (Rupert Holmes song)

"Him" is the title of a song written and recorded by American artist Rupert Holmes. It was released in January 1980 as the second single from the album, Partners in Crime. The song peaked at number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on March 29, 1980 and remained at that position for 2 weeks.

The song is sung from the point of view of a man who suspects that his wife or girlfriend is cheating on him when he discovers a pack of cigarettes that do not belong to him. Although he knows that she will tell him that the unknown other man is "just a friend," the narrator doesn't believe this and plans to tell her bluntly, "It's me or it's him." ==Chart performance ==
