Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
"Touch Me " is a song by the English pop singer Samantha Fox from her debut studio album, Touch Me. A successful topless model, Fox had been invited to attend an open audition for Jive Records, as the label was seeking "a British Madonna" to sing the song. She was offered a five-album deal.
Written by Mark Shreeve, Jon Astrop, and Pete Q. Harris, and produced by the latter two, "Touch Me" was released on 10 March 1986 as Fox's debut single and the lead single from the Touch Me album. It was a worldwide success, peaking at number three on the UK singles chart and number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 while topping the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.
Lyrics and music video
The song is about her searching for a man. The accompanying music video featured Fox performing to a packed crowd wearing ripped jeans and a denim jacket. During the song, she pulls a young man from the crowd and teases him before moving on to someone else. Fox declined suggestions she film a raunchy video with bed sequences, insisting a concert performance scenario would better serve her ambitions to be taken seriously, and feeling the song's lyrics were already sexy enough.Track listings
