Samantha Fox is the second studio album by the English pop singer Samantha Fox, released in July 1987 by Jive Records. The album charted at number 22 in the United Kingdom, number 51 in the United States, number 41 in Canada, number 86 in Australia and number 16 in Germany. After her debut studio album, Touch Me (1986), went gold, Fox returned to the studio to record her eponymous second album. Emerging English songwriting and record production trio Stock Aitken Waterman were enlisted to contribute one track, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now", after her label reportedly became concerned the album did not contain any obvious hits. However, US producers Full Force, who were helping Lisa Lisa at that time, also delivered a top 5 US hit for the album with "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)". The album also spawned the singles "I Surrender (To the Spirit of the Night)", "I Promise You (Get Ready)", and "True Devotion". Jim Lea and Noddy Holder (of the English rock band Slade) wrote and demoed the song "Shooting Me Down" for the album after being approached by Jive. However, Fox never recorded the song as there was not enough time to do so before the album's release date.
