"Monkey" is a song by English pop singer and songwriter George Michael, released as part of his seminal 1988 album, Faith. Written and produced by George Michael himself, the track also features additional remixing by famed producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for the single release. "Monkey" is a dance-rock and synth-funk track, with a defiant energy that recalls the work of artists such as Prince. With heavy synths and drum machines, the song stands out among other George Michael singles of the era for its aggressiveness. Its lyrics address struggles with addiction, using "monkey" as a metaphor for the battle one of George Michael's friends faced with drugs and alcohol. Peaking at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 in the UK, "Monkey" became a huge hit, turning George Michael into one of the biggest pop stars of the late 1980s. "Monkey" also marked an important moment in his career, putting him alongside artists like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston as artists who achieved multiple consecutive number 1 singles from a single album during that era.
