"Potential New Boyfriend" is a song written by Steve Kipner and John Lewis Parker, and recorded by American entertainer Dolly Parton. The song peaked at number 20 on the U.S. country singles chart.[1] It was released in April 1983 as the lead and only single from Parton's album Burlap & Satin. The song was also popular in discos and dance clubs, and in addition to the standard 45 RPM single, an extended-play dance remix single was released. The single was also accompanied by one of Parton's first music videos, which was directed by Steve Barron. The record is notable for being Parton's first song to be more successful on a non-country music US Billboard chart, peaking at number 13 on the Dance Club Chart and number 20 on the Hot Country Songs Chart.
