"Slave to the Rhythm" is the first single from Grace Jones' album of the same name, which was released in 1985. This was her first album in three years, and it contains eight variants of the single (the single's B-side is another variant of the song, yet to be released on CD). The single became one of her greatest successes.

On the album the song is called; "Ladies & Gentlemen: Miss Grace Jones".

Two single CDs have been re-released with multiple remixes of the song. The first includes the long version of the original, co-titled "Blooded".
