"Voyeur" is a song by American singer-songwriter Kim Carnes from her seventh studio album of the same name (1982). Written by Carnes, her husband Dave Ellingson, and Duane Hitchings, the song is an uptempo synth-pop track. It is the first track from the album, and its lead single.
Billboard called it "a rocking synthesized track which is as immediately striking as 'Bette Davis Eyes.'"[1]
"Voyeur" peaked at number 25 on Cash Box's Top 100 Singles and number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, the single reached number 5 in Norway and number 10 in Spain and Sweden. It featured a then-controversial music video, which was later banned for its suggestiveness. The song received a nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 1983 Grammy Awards.[2]
