“Someone Else’s Boy” is a song written by Hal Gordon and Athena Hosey. It was recorded by Connie Francis on January 31, 1961, in New York.

Song Background

The song was the flipside of Francis’ hit single “Breakin’ in a Brand New Broken Heart“, which peaked at number seven on the U.S. pop chart.

Breaking In A Brand New Broken Heart by Connie Francis 1961

“Someone Else’s Boy” was Francis’ first collaboration with songwriter, arranger and band leader Cliff Parman (who wrote – among others – Nat King Cole’s “Pretend”). The international success of “Someone Else’s Boy” prompted Francis to work with Parman on several singles and three albums throughout 1961. Although “Someone Else’s Boy” was overlooked in the U.S. and didn’t chart, it became one of Francis’ greatest international successes. It is the only song in her repertoire she recorded in eight languages:

Connie Francis – Schoener fremder Mann
  • French (as Celui que je veux)
CONNIE FRANCIS , C'est lui que je veux ( Someone Else's Boy )
Connie Francis – Ti conquisterò (Someone Else's Boy) italian version
  • Spanish (as El novio de otra, a. k. a. Mi tonto amor)
El novio de otra (Remastered)
Connie Francis – Um Amor Só Meu (Someone Else's boy in PORTUGUESE)
  • Dutch (as Jij bent niet van mij)
Connie Francis – Jij Bent Niet Van MiJ (Dutch Version of Schöner fremder Mann)
  • Japanese (as 夢のデイト – Yume no Deito).
Connie Francis (Japanese) 夢のデート Someone Else's Boy

  • At least five of these versions hit number one in their respective countries. In West Germany, it became her best selling German-language recording to this date. The Dutch version, however, remained unreleased until 1988
  • A cover in Swedish, “Han är inte min” was recorded in October 1961 by Anna-Lena Löfgren.
Anna-Lena Löfgren – Han Är Inte Min (Schöner Fremder Mann)
