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.[3] She was offered a five album deal.[3]
Written by Mark Shreeve, Jon Astrop, and Pete Q. Harris, and produced by the latter two, the song was released on 10 March 1986 as Fox's debut single and the lead single from the Touch Me album.
"Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" 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.
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. The singer 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.[3]
During the song, she pulls a young man from the crowd and teases him before moving on to someone else. The song is loaded with sexual innuendos.
