"I Want Your Sex" is a song by English singer and songwriter George Michael. Released as a single on 18 May 1987 (US)[1] and 1 June 1987 (UK),[1] it was the third hit from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II and the first single from Michael's debut solo album Faith. It peaked at number two in the US and number three in the UK, and was a top five single in many other countries.
The single was certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments in excess a million copies in the United States. It was also the recipient for Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song. The song's radio airplay on the BBC was restricted to post-watershed hours due to concerns that it might promote promiscuity and could be counterproductive to contemporary campaigns about AIDS awareness.[5]
