"Addicted to Love" became Palmer's signature song, thanks in part to a popular video featuring high fashion models.

The music video (which uses the shorter single version of this song), directed by English photographer Terence Donovan,[7] was one of the most noted of the era.

The video features Palmer performing the song with an abstract "band", a group of female models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair, and seductive, rather mannequin-like expression follow the style of women in Patrick Nagel paintings.

Director Terence Donovan got us tipsy on a bottle of wine but as we were having our make-up retouched, I lost balance on my heels and knocked the top of my guitar into the back of Robert's head, and his face then hit the microphone.

The models were also used in the spoof of the video in "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF wearing glasses and moustaches.

American singer Tina Turner made "Addicted to Love" a regular feature of her live shows since 1986, although her version did not make it onto the market until two years later.

The two singles had the same B-sides: live recordings of "Overnight Sensation" and ZZ Top's "Legs" and near identical picture sleeves.
