What's New?" is a popular song composed in 1938 by Bob Haggart, originally as an instrumental tune titled "I'm Free" when he was a member of Bob Crosby’s Orchestra.
In 1939, Johnny Burke wrote new lyrics for the tune as a torch song, using one side of a casual conversation between former lovers. Thus the song was retitled using the song's first line, "What's New?" and was recorded by Crosby with the new title in 1939, with vocalist Teddy Grace.

The song reached a peak chart position of #10.Later that year, Bob Crosby’s brother Bing recorded the song with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra and this was the biggest hit recording of the song, peaking at #2 during a 10-week stay in the charts.

In 1983, Linda Ronstadt and conductor Nelson Riddle successfully launched a revival of the Great American Songbook by recording traditional pop albums. The revival was led by “What's New?”
