"I Want to Thank You" is a song by American singer Alicia Myers, released in 1981, originally as a track from her debut album, Alicia (1981). The song was later included as a single on her 1982 album, I Fooled You This Time, due to its heavy rotation in clubs by DJs in the United States and United Kingdom. The song was written by Kevin McCord, bassist for Myers' former band One Way, who also produced it alongside Irene Perkins. It debuted on the US Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, where it ran for 11 weeks, peaking at number 37 in November 1982. In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked "I Want to Thank You" number 136 in their list of the "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time".
