"Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" was the first hit for British singer Samantha Fox. It was a worldwide hit, hitting #4 in the U.S. (usually a tough market for international acts), #3 in her native UK, and topping the Australian chart. The song 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 Samantha 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. The video also features Samantha Fox.
