The single was kept out of the top spot of the Hot 100 by Cutting Crew 's `` ( I Just ) Died in Your Arms '' and U2 's `` With or Without You '', and would itself keep Club Nouveau 's Hot 100 number - one single `` Lean on Me '' out of the top spot of the R&B chart. It ranked number 16 on Billboard 's year - end chart for 1987. The song also reached number - one on the RPM Singles Chart in Canada. In 1988 the song was nominated for two Soul Train Music Awards for Best R&B / Soul or Rap Music Video, and Best R&B / Soul Single, Female. She was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings of `` I 'll show you '' with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of `` Looking for a New Love. '' The released record is the eight - track demo of the song ; that way the emotional urgency of Watley 's vocal was still intact. One of the song 's key phrases became a popular saying : `` Hasta la vista, baby. '' It wound up on innumerable answering machines and was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 film Terminator 2 : Judgment Day ( see Hasta la vista, baby ). 2005 re-issue In 2005, Jody Watley re-recorded and released `` Looking for a New Love '' on Water Music Records in conjunction with her own Avitone label, Curvve Recordings, and Peace Bisquit. The re-issue was remixed in various styles : house, electro, breakbeat. The newly imagined `` Looking for a New Love '' peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Dance Music / Club Play chart, making her the first artist ever to take the same song to No. 1 in two decades. Music video This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. ( March 2017 ) A music video, directed by Brian Grant was released in March 1987 to promote the song. Grant previously made videos for Whitney Houston, Peter Gabriel and Tina Turner.
