“True Devotion” by Samantha Fox is a tender pop ballad released in December 1987 with “Even In the Darkest Hours” on the B-side as the fourth single from her second album, Samantha Fox. It showed a softer, more emotional side of the British singer, who was better known at the time for her bold, high-energy dance-pop hits like “Touch Me (I Want Your Body)” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now.”
This song dials things down—both musically and lyrically. It’s all about sincere, heartfelt love, with Fox singing about unwavering loyalty and emotional closeness.
Musically, it leans into mid-’80s pop ballad territory, with lush synths, soft keys, and a gentle rhythm that supports her earnest vocal performance. It doesn’t try to be flashy—just emotionally resonant.
“True Devotion” wasn’t a massive chart-topper like some of her earlier singles. It reached No. 62 on the UK Singles Chart, making it one of her more low-key releases commercially. Still, for fans, it’s a standout because it gave Samantha Fox a chance to show more emotional depth and vocal warmth, stepping away from her sex-symbol image for something more introspective and sweet.
