"This House" / "Paradise" is a double single from the album Workin' Overtime by American singer Diana Ross, released on July 23, 1989, in the United States by Motown. Worldwide distribution was handled by EMI, though the single was split into two releases in other regions: "This House" and "Paradise" were released separately. Both tracks were written and produced by Nile Rodgers.
It was initially planned for "This House" to be the lead single from the album; however, Ross opted to release "Workin' Overtime" instead.[1] Despite this, "This House" did not achieve significant commercial success, peaking at number 64 on the Hot Black Singles chart.[2] In contrast, "Paradise" gained more traction, particularly in the dance music scene, due in part to remixes by Shep Pettibone. It reached number 11 on the Dance Club Play chart in September 1989.[3]
Both songs were included in the setlist for Ross's Workin' Overtime World Tour.
