"I Can't Help It" is a song written and recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It is included on their fourth studio album Wow! and was released as its third single except in the U.S., where it was the album's second single (following "I Heard a Rumour"). The track was co-written and produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) trio. The song is a disco-influenced pop tune similar to many hits produced by SAW during this time period. Its suggestive lyrics and music video further perpetuated Bananarama's sensual visual image that the group began to incorporate with their previous album True Confessions. The "I Can't Help It" video featured muscle men dancing, colorful backdrops, and Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward in a milk bath filled with fruit and naked men. Siobhan Fahey, extremely pregnant at the time, also appears but was only shown on camera from the shoulders up. The single peaked at number twenty in the UK singles chart and the Australian ARIA chart and just missed the top-forty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. A hit in nightclubs, "I Can't Help It" climbed to number seven on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. This is the final Bananarama single to feature Siobhan Fahey, who announced her departure shortly after its release. The photos on the record sleeve were taken by famous American photographer Herb Ritts. The record sleeves for "I Can't Help It" and "Love in the First Degree" were switched with each other for the U.K. and North American markets.
