What Have I Done to Deserve This? is a 1987 collaboration between two UK recording artists, Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield. The single was released in late-1987, and would go on to peak at number two in the UK charts, and at the same position on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the fourth Top Ten hit for Pet Shop Boys as well as the biggest hit of Springfield's career in the U.S. The song's success helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield mimed a performance of the song for the 1987 Brit Awards.
