"Sexbox" is a single by American singer La Toya Jackson. It is taken from her 1991 album No Relations. The single was released on 7", 12" and CD singles in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The single was released on Pump Records (a division of Dino Records) and a huge promotion campaign boosted the single in Holland and Germany. The single charted at #25 on Dutch charts, and became Jackson's second biggest Dutch hit of her career.
Producer Menace raps the male lyrics and Madonna's "Like a Virgin" is sampled.
Jackson performed the song on several German and Dutch TV shows accompanied by a group of Dutch dancers. At the same time she promoted the release of her autobiography La Toya: Growing up in the Jackson Family and her second appearance in Playboy magazine in November 1991.
The term SeXbox was originally coined by acclaimed author and imaginist Kellen Johnson during the summer of 1989. A lengthy legal battle was fought over La Toya Jackson's usage of the term on her 1991 single of the same name. As of May 30, 2008, Jackson and Johnson agreed to an out of court settlement worth a reported $3.14 million
