"I Want to Thank You" is a 1994 song by American singer Robin S., released as the fourth single from her debut album, Show Me Love. It is written by Allen George and Fred McFarlane, and produced by them with Junior Vasquez. The remix by David Morales became a big hit in the clubs, but on the charts it was a minor hit in Europe, peaking at number 39 in Belgium and number 48 on the UK Singles Chart. At the US Billboard Hot 100, it reached number 103.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Thanks in large part to the eternally golden remix hand of David Morales, the voice behind the massive "Show Me Love" is poised to flood dancefloors again. Her solid rendition of this gospel-tinged disco evergreen is enhanced by Morales' savvy blend of groove and slick synths. Junior Vasquez, the track's original co-producer, drops a couple of sturdy versions that are darker and geared more toward underground tastes."[1] Music Week's RM Dance Update deemed it as a "smooth soulful cover version".[2] The magazine's James Hamilton described it as a "incredibly coincidental almost Degrees Of Motion answering 'thank you Heavenly Father for shining your light on me' inspirational loper".[3]
