I Need Your Body is the second single by Australian pop singer Tina Arena, originally released in 1988 in Scandinavia and issued in Australia two years later in 1990. Despite receiving little success in Scandinavia, it was Arena's first single to receive commercial success in Australia and was certified Platinum. It peaked at #3 on the ARIA Singles chart, and was placed at #17 on the ARIA 1990 End of Year Top 100 Singles chart. This made it the second highest selling single in Australia from a local artist that year.
