In My House

"In My House" is the first single released from the American girl group Mary Jane Girls album, Only Four You in 1985. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in April of that year and remained atop the chart for two weeks. It was also a top 10 hit on both the U.S. pop and R&B charts. The song peaked at number seven on the pop chart in June 1985 and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. It is the group's biggest hit song and their only Top 40 hit, although they have had other singles succeed on both the R&B and dance charts.

The song was produced by Rick James. In the song, the group declares their devotion to a man and telling him that they will be available to him anytime: If you need some love and tenderness / And it's me, baby, that you miss / Here's the key to unlock the door / To my house, my house.

In 2009, VH1 ranked "In My House" #52 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

In 1984, the Parents Music Resource Center was organized in the U.S. to draw attention to music which the group believed contained inappropriate content for children. "In My House" was chosen on the group's "Filthy Fifteen" list due to its alleged sexual innuendo. However, during the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s program, the group went on record as saying the song is not about sex, but about love.
