The hit song "I Touch Myself" was written and recorded by the Australian rock band Divinyls in November 1990. The song was a single promoting the group's fourth studio album titled "diVINYLS." It was quite a commercial success, debuting at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and topping the charts in Australia - the band's home country. The song was written by Christian Amphlett and Mark EcEntee, while Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg were responsible for the lyrics.
The video for the song "I Touch Myself" was directed by Micheal Baya. The video was nominated three times for the MTV Video Music Awards, including in the most important category, Video of the Year. The song was equally warmly received by music critics, who described it as a modern rock hit, an excellent song that stays in your head for weeks, and an extremely catchy song.
