"Amanda" is a popular song by hard rock band Boston. It is a love ballad, a type of song Boston doesn't typically perform. It also ended up being Boston's biggest hit single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number one for two weeks in November 1986. The song was written in 1980, and appeared on their 1986 album Third Stage.
Amanda is a relatively rare example of a song that reached #1 on the Top 100 in or after the 1980s without having a music video made for it.
