"New Attitude" is a song by American singer Patti LaBelle. It was written by Sharon Robinson, Jon Gilutin, and Bunny Hull and recorded by LaBelle for the motion picture soundtrack album to the 1984 action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop, while production was helmed by Rick Chudacoff, Howie Rice, and Peter Burnetta. Released as a single in December 1984, it helped launch LaBelle's solo career as a pop music singer after the singer had spent seven years without a crossover pop hit following the break-up of her band Labelle.

"New Attitude" climbed to number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Dance Music chart in a remixed form in 1985.[3] It also peaked at number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 1985.
