Strictly Physical (song)

"Strictly Physical" is a song written by Christian Ballard, Tim Hawes, Pete Kirtley, Obie Mhondera, and Andrew Murray for German pop trio Monrose's same-titled second studio album, Strictly Physical (2007). It was co-produced by production teams Jiant and Snowflakers and released as the album's second single on 14 September 2007. It has since reached the top ten in Germany as well as the top twenty in Austria and the top twenty-five a composite European Hot 100 Singles.

A thirty-seconds clip of "Strictly Physical" was previewed on 27 August 2007 on the band's official website, and by 3 September the full track had leaked to the Internet via radio.

Music video

The music video for "Strictly Physical" was filmed between 27–29 August 2007 in Germany. It premiered on the band's official website on 12 September and made its television debut the following day on German music network VIVA's show VIVA Live.

At the beginning of the video, Bahar Kızıl, who is standing in front of a mirrow, Senna Guemmour, who is lying on a bed, and Mandy Capristo, who is sitting on a chair, are posing for a photographer in a photoshoot. They are dressed in light colored clothing, mostly white. The girls show discontent with the photos and storm out, leaving the photographer behind. In the following scenes they travel to what is presumably a boxing ring or gym. They are now shown dressed in male clothing. Monrose changes the roles, acting as three photographers with three men. Intercut with these plots are shots of the three women dressed in black and red latex outfits.

Strictly Physical (album)

Strictly Physical is the second studio album by all-female German pop trio Monrose. It was released by Starwatch Music in association with Warner Music Group on September 21, 2007 in German-speaking Europe and on October 8, 2007 in parts of Eastern Europe. Released only nine months after its best-selling predecessor Temptation, the album took Monrose's work further into dance and electro music, featuring main production by Danish producers Remee, Thomas Troelsen, and Peter Biker, as well as British composers from production collectives Jiant, and Snowflakers.

Upon its release, Strictly Physical debuted at number two on the German Albums Chart and reached the top ten in Austria and Switzerland. It was eventually certified gold by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) in Germany and Austria. Named after its second single which was released a week prior to the album, Strictly Physical spawned three singles, also including the band's second non-consecutive number-one hit "Hot Summer" and the Billy Mann-penned top ten ballad "What You Don't Know."
