A successful topless model, Fox had been invited to attend an open audition for Jive Records, as the label was seeking "a British Madonna" to sing the song.

"Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" was a worldwide success, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart and number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, while topping the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Greece, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland.

The accompanying music video featured Fox performing to a packed crowd wearing ripped jeans and a denim jacket.

Fox declined suggestions she film a raunchy video with bed sequences, insisting a concert performance scenario would better serve her ambitions to be taken seriously, and feeling the song's lyrics were already sexy enough.

In 2004, Swedish singer Günther covered the song for his debut studio album, Pleasureman (2004).
