"Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" is a song recorded by English singer Samantha Fox for her self-titled second studio album (1987). It was released as a single in 1988 by Jive Records and was a collaboration between Fox and hip-hop group Full Force. It describes how a "naughty girl" has unexpectedly fallen in love. With the song initially presented to Fox in a less melodic form, she insisted on the addition of guitar.[2] Her producers were at first reluctant to comply, but later added the distinctive guitar sound with the use of a Fairlight.[2]
In the US, "Naughty Girls" peaked at No. 3 on June 4, 1988. It was ranked as the 28th most popular song of that year.[3] It was also a top ten hit in New Zealand, Finland and Canada. The Full Force Naughty House Mix contains a sample of Boney M.'s "Ma Baker".
