I Wanna Have Some Fun

I Wanna Have Some Fun is the third album by Samantha Fox, released in November 1988 by Jive Records. The album is a funky mixture of dance pop, R&B and bubblegum, replete with drum machines and bass beats.

The album was produced by various producers covering the Euro-pop sound. Two tracks, "Next To Me" and the title track, reunited her with Full Force, while in another reunion with Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) she recorded a cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You", retitled "I Only Wanna Be with You", and the SAW original "You Started Something". The first single released from the album was "Love House".

The second single released in the UK, "I Only Wanna Be with You", was her biggest hit in over a year, peaking in the Top Twenty at #16. The first single release in the US fared even better. The title selection, "I Wanna Have Some Fun", produced by Full-Force, reache #8 in the US Top Ten, though when released as the third single in the UK, it only managed #63. The American release, as the follow-up, of "I Only Wanna Be With You" peaked inside the US Billboard Top 40 at #31. No further singles were released from the album, although "Your House Or My House" was reported by the fan club to be in the running for a Canadian single release.
