“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).
