“I Think We're Alone Now” is a song, written and composed by Ritchie Cordell, that was initially a 1967 hit for the American recording artists Tommy James and the Shondells, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has since been covered several times by other artists. The late 1987 recording by Tiffany Renee Darwish reached number 1 on the charts of various countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and New Zealand. One month earlier, another Tommy James song had also hit number 1 - Billy Idol's version of “Mony, Mony.” Other cover versions have also charted, including those by The Rubinoos (number 45 US, 1977) and Girls Aloud (number 4 UK, 2006).
