"Cruising for Bruising" is a song by Polish singer Basia released in 1990 as the second single from her album London Warsaw New York.

[1] "Cruising for Bruising" was written and produced by Basia Trzetrzelewska and Danny White, and tells about the breakup of their romantic relationship.

The music video for the song was directed by Nick Morris[2] and filmed in a countryside in Oxfordshire, England[3] since Basia wanted to make it "very English".

[7] David Giles of Music Week stated that "Cruising for Bruising" "is less commercial than [Basia's] previous offerings from a melodic point of view, and without compensating by whacking up the beat".

[8] Much more enthusiastic, a review published in Music & Media magazine elected "Cruising for Bruising" "Single of the week", described it as one of the best tracks from the parent album London Warsaw New York, a "radio-friendly song" and a "smooth and easy-going pop number", and praised Basia's "crystal-clear voice and fresh sounding composition".
