It was released in September 1981 by MCA Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Steve Kipner and Terry Shaddick, who had originally intended to offer it to British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart, and produced by John Farrar.[2] The song had also been offered to Tina Turner by her manager Roger Davies, but when Turner declined, Davies gave the song to Newton-John, another of his clients.[3] The song was an immediate success, shipping two million copies in the United States, where it was certified Platinum and spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Physical" ultimately became Newton-John's biggest American hit and cemented her legacy as a pop superstar, a journey that began when she crossed over from her earlier country-pop roots. The song's suggestive lyrics, which even caused it to be banned in some markets, helped change Newton-John's longstanding clean-cut image, replacing it with a sexy, assertive persona that was strengthened with follow-up hits such as "Make A Move On Me", "Twist of Fate" and "Soul Kiss". The song's guitar solo was performed by Steve Lukather. The song reached #7 on the UK chart in November,[4] was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and won the Billboard Award for Top Pop Single. ReceptionRecorded in early 1981, "Physical" rose to #1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart in November 1981 and stayed there for 10 weeks (the most of any single in the 1980s[5]), remaining until the second half of January 1982. It reached #2 on the Radio & Records CHR/Pop Airplay chart on November 27, 1981, staying there for two weeks and remaining on the chart for 14 weeks.[6] In terms of chart placement, "Physical" was Newton-John's most successful single in the U.S., as well as her final single to reach #1. Billboard ranked the song as the #1 single of 1982 (since the chart year for 1982 actually began in November 1981). "Physical" was both preceded and followed in the #1 chart position by recordings by the duo Hall & Oates: "Private Eyes" was dethroned by "Physical" in November 1981, and "Physical" was supplanted by "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" the following January. "Physical" held Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You" at #2 on the Hot 100 for nine weeks, and "I Can't Go For That" then held Foreigner at #2 for a tenth and final consecutive week. The single achieved great success around the world, reaching #7 in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Silver.[7] However, the song was censored and even banned by some radio stations as a result of its sexually suggestive content, such as the line "There's nothing left to talk about unless it's horizontally." Despite Newton-John's status as a staple of soft-rock music, "Physical" peaked at only #29 on the adult contemporary (AC) chart, though Its follow-up, the slightly softer-edged "Make a Move on Me," reached #6 on the chart and #5 on the Hot 100. The song was a major dance hit, crossing over to peak at #28 on the Billboard R&B chart, and spawned a music video. Music videoSynopsisThe song's music video, directed by Brian Grant, features Newton-John in a tight leotard trying to make several overweight men lose weight. The men fail comically and Newton-John leaves the room to take a shower. When the men work out on their own, they suddenly transform into muscular, attractive men. A stylistic shot shows one muscular man glancing at his overweight self in a mirror. Newton-John is shocked when she returns and starts to flirt with them. Two of the men secretly go out, holding hands, implying they are gay. This surprises Newton-John, as does the sight of two more of the men leaving with their arms around each other. Finally, she finds that the last of the overweight men is straight and they go off to play tennis together. ReceptionThe Olivia Physical music video collection, which contained "Physical", won a Grammy Award for Video of the Year in 1983. The video was featured on VH1's Pop-Up Video and was the first video to air on Beavis and Butt-head. LegacyBillboard ranked "Physical" #6 on its All Time Top 100,[8] #1 on its Top 50 Sexiest Songs Of All Time[9] and #1 on its Top 100 Songs of the 1980s list.[10]A revamped bossa nova version of the song was released on the 2002 Olivia duet album (2) as a bonus track, and this version replaced the original in Newton-John's tours. Her duet with Jane Lynch was included in the episode "Bad Reputation" of the television series Glee. The song was later skewered by SuLu's parody "Physical", featured on Dr. Demento's weekly show, with such lyrics as "It's time I got a physical, physical" and "Press that thing against my chest and listen to my body talk, body talk".[11] In the 2008 episode of The Office entitled "Business Ethics", Michael and Holly teach the office about workplace ethics by singing and dancing (in headbands) to Physical, but changing the lyrics to "Let's get Ethical".{{cn|date=March 2019}} PersonnelFrom the Physical album's liner notes:[12]
