"Let's Get Back to Bed – Boy!" is a song by German recording artist Sarah Connor. Written and produced by frequent collaborative duo Rob Tyger and Kay Denar, the song features American R&B singer TQ. Conceived for Connor's debut album, Green Eyed Soul (2001), the track is built around a mandolin sample and scratching hip hop beats, over which Connor, as the female protagonist, adopts sensual vocals and expresses her desire to have sex with her partner, inviting him to her bed.[original research?]

"Let's Get Back to Bed – Boy!" was released as the album's lead single in Germany on 7 May 2001 and peaked at number two on the German Singles Chart for two weeks. It also reached the top 10 in Austria and Switzerland and the top 20 in Norway and the United Kingdom. The song was nominated for Best National Single – Rock/Pop at the 2002 ECHO Awards, and received gold certifications from the German and Austrian arms of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

Music video[edit]

A music video was filmed for the song, featuring both Connor and TQ.[1] The video begins at a large mansion, where Connor is in the bathtub. A party is happening downstairs, and we see TQ arriving and mingling with various women. Connor finishes getting ready and heads downstairs, catching the attention of TQ and the other guests. Connor and TQ then retire to the bedroom to engage in sexual intercourse, implied through the removal of clothing and the pair embracing. The video ends with Connor and TQ leaving the house and heading towards their car, before deciding they are not quite finished in the bedroom, heading back inside whilst embracing and laughing together.
