The song is a disco-influenced pop tune similar to many hits produced by SAW during this time period
The single peaked at number twenty in the UK singles chart, number 27 on the Australian ARIA chart (where it was released in August 1988 after I Want You Back), and just missed the top-forty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. A hit in nightclubs, 'I Can't Help It' climbed to number seven on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart.
This is the final Bananarama single to feature Siobhan Fahey, who announced her departure shortly after its release.
The photos on the record sleeve were taken by famous American photographer Herb Ritts. The record sleeves for 'I Can't Help It' and 'Love in the First Degree' were switched with each other for the UK and North American markets.
The song's suggestive lyrics and music video further perpetuated Bananarama's sensual visual image that the group began to incorporate with their previous album True Confessions.
The 'I Can't Help It' video featured muscle men dancing, colourful backdrops, and Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward in a milk bath filled with fruit and naked men. Siobhan Fahey, extremely pregnant at the time, also appears but was only shown on camera from the shoulders up. Music video directed by Andy Morahan.
