Which Whitney Houston song from the 'Waiting to Exhale' soundtrack became a number-one hit?

“Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” was the Whitney Houston song from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack that became a number-one hit. It was written and produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds for the 1995 film and its soundtrack album.

Houston’s recording was released as the soundtrack’s lead single in November 1995. It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it only the third single in the chart’s history to enter at the top at that time. It also debuted at number one on the Hot R&B Singles chart.

The song became Houston’s eleventh number-one single on the Hot 100 and her final song to reach that position there. Its restrained vocal approach was distinctive: instead of building toward one of her usual dramatic climaxes, Houston used controlled phrasing and the memorable wordless “shoop shoop” refrain. The other soundtrack songs listed in the choices were successful, but none matched “Exhale” as the soundtrack’s number-one hit.
