"I Don't Want to Live Without You" is a song written by Mick Jones that was first released by the pop rock band Foreigner on their 1987 album Inside Information. Jones has rated it as one of his favorite Foreigner songs, calling it "the saddest song I ever wrote." Jones said the inspiration for the song came from different people he was close to throughout his life, including women he had dated as well as his children. He also stated that around the time he wrote it, he was having a child being born, and he was determined to be there for the birth, whereas he had not been for some of his previous children.

In his autobiography, Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades in Rock 'n' Roll, lead singer Lou Gramm stated that he disliked the song and didn't want to sing it. As his personal relationship with Jones was deteriorating by that point, Gramm claims that he "under-sang" it in an attempt to sabotage Jones' song

On the Billboard adult contemporary chart, the song became Foreigner's only #1 hit, spending one week atop the tally the week of May 14, 1988.

Anthony, thank you so much - great, great track and so reminiscent of what actually was going on in the 80's with so much done on digital drum machines. If anyone could do it, you could. Again thanks - this is really starting to take shape. I have to remind myself when I listen that it isn't the BT it is Pete, Anthony and Bill. Vocals and BV to come.

9-23-26 - custom MIDI drum programming completed. Included a real video at the intro as to not get excluded for Collab of the month. Programmed at 100bpm. Used a Roland KR-88 drum machine first to score out the basic pattern in MIDI then swapped out the Roland fake drum sounds with Superior Drummer 3. All MIDI programmed from scratch.

Oops slight correction for the few that would be interested. This was a Korg (not Roland KR-55B) drum machine.

Okay, published with your updated track and video. Sounds awesome. I did a little tweak to sync everything. See what you all think -everything still temporary.

Okay, published with Pete's incredible wall of sound synth work - just fantastic. I took the BT to zero and temporarily uploaded just the lead vocal and drum stems until we get those spots completed. Thanks again Pete!
