"This House" / "Paradise" is a double single from the album Workin' Overtime by American singer Diana Ross, released on July 23, 1989 in the US by Motown. Worldwide distribution was handled by EMI, but the single was split in two there: the songs "This House" and "Paradise" were released separately. Both songs were written and produced by Nile Rodgers.
It was originally planned that "This House" would be the lead single from the album, but Ross insisted on "Workin' Overtime".[1] However, the song failed to achieve success, rising only to number 64 on the Hot Black Singles chart.[2] "Paradise" was much more popular, promoted on the dance market thanks to remixes by Shep Pettibone, reaching number 11 on the Dance Club Play chart in September 1989.[3]
Both songs were performed during the Workin' Overtime World Tour.
