"Strictly Physical" is a dance-pop song written by Christian Ballard, Tim Hawes, Pete Kirtley, Obie Mhondera, and Andrew Murray for German pop trio Monrose's same-titled second studio album, Strictly Physical (2007). It was co-produced by production teams Jiant and Snowflakers and released as the album's second single on September 14, 2007 (see 2007 in music). It has since reached the top 10 in Germany, and Poland as well as the top 20 in Austria, and on a composite European Top 200 chart.

A thirty-seconds clip of "Strictly Physical" was previewed on August 27, 2007 on the band's official website, and by September 3 the full track had leaked onto the internet via radio.[1]

The music video for "Strictly Physical" was filmed between August 27 and 29, 2007 in Germany. It premiered on the band's official website on September 12 and made its television debut the following day on German music network VIVA's show VIVA Live.[2]

At the beginning of the video, Bahar Kızıl, who is standing in front of a mirrow, Senna Guemmour, who is lying on a bed, and Mandy Capristo, who is sitting on a chair, are posing for a photographer in a photoshoot. They are dressed in light colored clothing, mostly white. The girls show discontent with the photos and storm out, leaving the photographer behind. In the following scenes they travel to what is presumably a boxing ring or gym. They are now shown dressed in male clothing. Monrose changes the roles, acting as three photographers with three men. Intercut with these plots are shots of the three women dressed in black and red latex outfits.
