"Talk Dirty" is a song by American singer Jason Derulo, released as the second single from his third studio album, Tattoos (2013), in Europe and Australia.

[4] A music video for "Talk Dirty" was directed by Colin Tilley, which incorporates types of dance from a variety of different cultures: it was released through Derulo's account on YouTube on August 7, 2013.

[7] During an interview with Digital Spy, Derulo stated that the prospect of his first single with a guest appearance made him "really excited": he called "Talk Dirty" "shocking" and "out there", and felt that listeners would "be thinking 'Hmm, really?!

[17][18] The song opens and closes with a woman speaking words in broken English: Spin magazine considered this one element of an attempt to encompass an "international polyglot/clusterfuck pop atmosphere" similar to that found in the production work of Timbaland in the early 2000s.

[19] Ricky Reed's instrumentation, which contains a sample of "Hermetico" by Israeli group Balkan Beat Box,[4] incorporates percussion as well as the "honky-horns" that back the hook,[19][20] which Spin likened to those found in "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and "Somewhereinamerica" by Jay-Z.

James Rettig of Billboard commented Derulo for "taking [more] risks" with the song's composition than in "The Other Side", citing the horn sounds backing the chorus as an example.

[21] DJBooth reviewer Richard quipped that "Talk Dirty" demonstrates how when Derulo "spit[s] game to beautiful women... [he] always manages to make himself understood".

[28] In its fifth week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the United States, the song jumped nine places from fifteen to six, selling 194,000 copies.

[29][30] The following week the song rose to position of number 4, giving Derulo his first top 10 hit since his 2010 single, "Ridin' Solo" and fourth overall, selling an additional 234,000 copies.

[37] Derulo performed "Talk Dirty" for the first time, alongside an acoustic cover of his previous single "The Other Side", at the House of Blues music hall in Orlando as part of the "Presents Hook Up #4" series of concerts organized by American radio station 102 JAMZ.

[43] The song's third televised performance was on the season 18 opener of the reality competition show, Dancing with the Stars, which premiered on ABC on March 17, 2014.

"[51][52] Although Jenna Hally Rubenstein of MTV explained that the video was thematically shallow, writing that it contained "no real plot... other than "ass"... "hot babes playing saxophone" and "flexing pecs", she complimented Derulo's choreography and dancing, observing him to "[shake] it like a bawse while scoping out those hot babes playing saxophone" as he "dances and twerks around the video's many colorful sets", and quipped "The more pec-flexin', the better!

Canadian actress Malin Akerman performed the song on the seventh episode of Lip Sync Battle, while Jorgie Porter did the same on the UK version.
