"So Emotional" is a song recorded by American singer Whitney Houston. The song was the third single from her second album Whitney, and was released in November of 1987.

"So Emotional" was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, who also wrote Madonna's "Like a Virgin." and Linda Ronstadt's How do I Make You" Originally, the uptempo track was intended to have a Prince-like sound. However, upon hearing Narada Michael Walden's version of song, they felt he took the power and bite of the song. The song centers on Houston loving being in love, saying "I get so emotional/every time I think of you/I get so emotional/Ain't it shocking what love can do".
