"Sussudio" is a song by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins. It was released on January 14, 1985 in the United Kingdom by Virgin Records as the lead single from his third solo studio album, No Jacket Required (1985). The song served as the second single from the album in the United States, being released on April 30, 1985 by Atlantic Records, following "One More Night". The song’s title is a pseudoword Collins randomly came up with during a practice session.

Upon release in the US, "Sussudio" entered frequent rotation on MTV in May, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in July.[4] The song also peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles chart.[5] Internationally, it topped the charts in Panama and Peru; and reached the top-ten in 10 other countries.
