"Buddy X" is a song by Swedish musician Neneh Cherry, released in 1993 by Circa and Virgin Records as the third and final single from her second album, Homebrew (1992).

Larry Flick from Billboard felt the song is "way-hip",[1] adding that on this "hip-hop-derived romp", Cherry "further proves that her double talent for singing and rhyming comes in mighty handy, as she swerves from sassy street kid-to worldly chanteuse with ease.

"[3] Chris Dafoe from Globe & Mail remarked that the song finds Cherry "tipping towards soul".

[4] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton opined, "The latest is unlikely to progress much further either, a far cry from the days of 'Buffalo Stance' and 'Manchild'.

"[6] Dave Piccioni from the Record Mirror Dance Update remarked that the singer "drops the home girl stuff just long enough for us to discover that there's been a good voice in there all along.
