I Wanna Be Loved by You is Claudja Barry's third studio album, released in November 1978 by Lollipop Records.

[2] It was also covered by French singer Joe Dassin as "La vie se chante, la vie se pleure", in German by Christina Harrison ("Ein leeres Zimmer"), and in Dutch by Frank & Mirella (Na regen komt zonneschijn).

The second single, "(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes", became Barry's biggest commercial success in early 1979, peaking at No.

Outtakes from the album include: "Sunshine Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Keith Forsey), released as the B-side of the "Boogie Tonight" 12-inch single in Canada; "American Hearts" (Frank Musker, Dominic Bugatti), covered the following year by Billy Ocean; a cover of Umberto Tozzi's "Ti Amo"; and "Who Gave Me Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Barry), all included on a German compilation album in 1980.

[6][better source needed] The full-length version of the title track, a cover of Marilyn Monroe's signature tune, was featured on the B-side of the "Dancin' Shoes" 12-inch single.
