"Addicted to Love" is a song by Robert Palmer first released in 1986. The song has now become known as his signature song, thanks in part to a highly popular video featuring high fashion models. Other artists have released versions since.

This is the third song on the Riptidealbum. The most commonly heard version runs around four minutes, but the full album version runs a little over six minutes.

The song topped the Hot 100 chart, as well as spending two weeks atop the BillboardTop Rock Tracks chart, and it peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart.

Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, her record company at the time wouldn't grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.

The guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez, then a member of Palmer's band, and keyboards by Wally Badarou. The song is also notable for the unaccompanied drum opening, which plays at 7/4. The rest of the song is in common 4/4 time.

The music video was directed by Terence Donovan, in which Palmer's backing band is a group of models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair and seductive expression makes them resemble the women in Patrick Nagel paintings.

The models in the video are (from left to right) Patty Kelly, Julie Pankhurst, Mak Gilchrist and Julia Bolino with Kathy Davies at the back on drums. Mak Gilchrist recalled to Qmagazine:

“I was 21 and got the part on the strength of my modelling book. We were meant to look and “act” like showroom mannequins. Director Terence Donovan got us tipsy on a bottle of wine but as were having our make-up retouched, I lost balance on my heels and knocked the top of my guitar into the back of Robert’s head, and his face then hit the microphone."

Palmer recycled the video's "iconic models" concept for the videos of three other songs of his : "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" (also from Riptide), "Simply Irresistible" and the animated "Change His Ways" (both from Heavy Nova).

VH1's Pop-Up Videotrivia about the video include the fact that a musician was hired to teach the models basic guitar fingering techniques, but "gave up after about an hour and left". The episode also pointed out several choreographical errors, including the models moving out of sync with one another, and moving during points with no backbeat, such as the second chorus.

The music video ranked at number 3 on VH1's Top 20 Videos of the 1980s and was both the first and last video shown on long running UK music programme The Chart Show.

Tina Turner has made "Addicted to Love" a regular feature of her live shows since 1986.

A live recording from the 1986/1987 Break Every Rule Tourof the track was included on her Tina: Live in Europealbum in 1988, and was also issued as the lead single to promote the album in certain territories - instead of "Nutbush City Limits" - and was a Top 20 hit in the Netherlands.

The two singles had the same B-sides; live recordings of "Overnight Sensation" and ZZ Top's "Legs" and near identical picture sleeves. The version of "Addicted to Love" issued on the single was in fact an alternate mix of the track, the single mix was later included on the European editions of her 1991 greatest hits album Simply the Bestas well as All the Bestin 2004 and Tina!: Her Greatest Hitsin 2008.
