"Toy Boy" is a song by American-British singer Sinitta, and was her first collaboration with producers Stock Aitken Waterman.[2] The song was released on 25 July 1987, and became the fourth single in her self-titled debut album, which came out on 26 December of the same year.[1] The lyrics were inspired by a tabloid newspaper article about the singer's love life, and she wrote the rap.[2] The track reached number 4 in the UK in August 1987, staying on the charts for 14 weeks. The song was the 26th best-selling single of 1987 in the UK, selling more than some number ones from that year.[citation needed] It was certified silver by the BPI.[3] It was also well-received on the US dance charts, peaking at number 19.
