"I Wanna Have Some Fun" is a pop–dance song performed by British singer Samantha Fox. It was written and produced by Full Force and was released in the last quarter of 1988 as the first American single from Fox' third album, I Wanna Have Some Fun (1988). In the US, the single was certified gold. In Europe and Australia, it was released as the album's third and final single in 1989. The song samples Loleatta Holloway's song "Love Sensation" and Yazoo's "Situation". American drag queen, Pandora Boxx, released a cover of the song in 2012 featuring Tim Permanent.

Critical reception

In an ironic review of 10 June 1989, the Betty Page, observer of British music newspaper Record Mirror, came to the conclusion that the pop-up gatefold sleeve of the single that she got was much more interesting than the music of the disc itself.
