Branigan 2 is the second album by singer Laura Branigan, released in March 1983. Two hit singles emerged from the album, the dramatic Solitaire (written by Diane Warren) and her introduction of the ballad How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. The album performed better in the charts than her first album in the U.S. In addition to establishing Branigan as more than a one-hit wonder after the major success of Gloria, How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, was the first major hit for it's co-writer, Michael Bolton. Barley missing Top Ten on the pop charts, it spent three weeks at Number One on the adult contemporary airplay charts. Branigan 2 also included the ballad Find Me (also used as the love theme for the 1983 Robert Hays film Touched), uptempo tracks I'm Not The Only One, Don't Show Your Love, and a cover of The Who's Squeeze Box. One of the album's tracks, Deep In The Dark, was a newly written song to the music of Falco's "Der Kommissar".
