"In My House" was the second single released from the American R&B girl group Mary Jane Girls album, Only Fo4r You in 1985. The song went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in April of that year and remained atop the chart for two weeks. It was also a top 10 hit on both the U.S. pop and R&B charts. The song peaked at #7 on the pop chart in June of 1985 and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. It is the group's biggest hit song and, to date, their only Top 40 hit, although they have had other singles reach both the R&B and dance charts. The song was produced by Rick James. In the song, the Girls are declaring their devotion to a man and telling him that they will be available to him anytime: If you need some love and tenderness / And it's me, baby, that you miss / Here's the key to unlock the door / To my house, my house.
