"'Nipple to the Bottle'" is a single by the Jamaican singer, model and actress Grace Jones, released in 1982.

Background



"Nipple to the Bottle" was the lead single from Jones' sixth studio album, 'Living My Life'. The song was released in some territories as a double A-side single with "The Apple Stretching". In some countries, the single B-side featured "Cry Now, Laugh Later" or a dub version of "My Jamaican Guy"; all of these three tracks would later receive separate single releases. The front cover uses an image taken from her 'A One Man Show' performance of "Demolition Man", with a group of Grace Jones "look-alikes" marching on across the stage. The song was performed by Grace in Julien Temple's 1983 film 'It's All True', made for BBC 'Arena' series.

The single met with a considerable success, reaching Top 20 on 'Billboard' R&B and dance charts. It did exceptionally well in New Zealand, where it became a number 3 hit.
