Song information

The song was composed by Rainer Pietsch and produced by Anthony Monn.

"Fabulous (Lover, Love Me)" was released as the advance single from Amanda's fourth album, Diamonds for Breakfast , in the second half of 1979. The B-side of the single was "Oh Boy", a song about a girl who unluckily falls in love with a gay boy, which would later also be included on Diamonds for Breakfast.
