"When I Hear Music" is a song co-written by American songwriter/producer Tony Butler and freestyle singer Debbie Deb. Released as her debut single on March 13, 1983, the song did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but it did reach number 43 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and was a hit in dance clubs, receiving major airplay across the U.S. well into the late 1980s. A July 1990 broadcast of WIOQ-FM "Q102" in Philadelphia featured the song's airplay during the morning show. Today, in many cities, the song continues to air on major U.S. radio stations, including KUMU-FM 94.7 in Honolulu (on Oct. 17, 2019) and XHRM-FM 92.5 in San Diego-Tijuana.

Reggaetón artist Voltio includes a sample of the song in his 2008 song, "Pónmela". A lengthy cut of the song can be heard in the Pónmela music video during the song's break.[2] The song also once appeared in a 2007 episode of Bones.
