"Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" was the first hit for British singer Samantha Fox. It was released in 1986 from her first album Touch Me. The single was a worldwide hit, peaking at number four in the United States (usually a tough market for international acts), number three in her native UK, and topping the Australian and Canadian charts. In Canada, the single stayed for seven weeks at number one. The single stayed at the top of Sweden's music chart for eight weeks, succeeded by Fox's second single "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)".
The song, recorded at Battery Studios, London, is about her searching for a man. The video featured her performing to a packed crowd wearing ripped denim jeans. During the song she pulls a young man from the crowd and teases him before moving on to someone else. A stand-out scene from the video is the close-up shot of Fox as she is heard moaning in a sexual manner. The song itself is layered with sexual lines, including: "Like a tramp in the night, I was begging for you, to treat my body like you wanted to" and of course the chorus itself, "Touch me, touch me, I wanna feel your body, your heartbeat next to mine, touch me, touch me NOW!".
In August 2004, a cover version was produced by Swedish music artist Günther with Samantha Fox performing new vocals for the song. The video also features Fox.
