"All Of Me (Boy Oh Boy)" is a song by Italian popstar Sabrina, released in Italy in July 1988 as the first single from her second album, Super Sabrina (1988). It was also her fifth international single. Written and produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman, it followed her previous single "Hot Girl" in Europe, while it was her second single release in the UK, following "Boys (Summertime Love)".

Entering the charts in mid-summer 1988,the single became Sabrina's third major European hit. It followed "Boys (Summertime Love)" and "Hot Girl" into the top 10 or top 20 in several countries on the European continent, and made the top 30 in the UK. It spent 18 weeks in the French top 50 and made top 30 in the overall Eurochart. Its estimated worldwide sales are around 400,000-500,000 copies.

Background and writing

Written and produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman, the song is a typical dance pop record of the SAW stable. Written especially for Sabrina, the lyrics, production and melody are slightly reminiscent of Sabrina's international breakthrough hit "Boys": the structure of the introductions are similar and while the chorus in "Boys" is built around the phrase 'Boys, boys, boys', in "All Of Me" it is 'Boy, oh, boy'.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "A killing combination of Sabrina and SAW on a jaunty, perky little number. Definitive Euro-disco."[1]

Music video

Sabrina in an Italian version of music video of "All of Me (Boy oh Boy)".

Two music videos were prepared for the single - one by Sabrina's Italian team/label to coincide with the single's early European release, and one made later by her UK label for the single's UK release.
