"Too Shy" is a song written and recorded by the English pop band Kajagoogoo, released in January 1983. The first single from their debut studio album White Feathers, the song was an immediate hit and reached No. 1 on the UK singles chart for two weeks. It was also very successful in other European countries and Japan, spending five weeks at No. 1 in Germany, also reaching No. 1 in Belgium and Ireland, as well as reaching No. 2 in France and Switzerland, and No. 4 in Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands, No. 6 in Australia and no 5 in the US. In the UK, it became the 13th best-selling single of 1983. Assisted by heavy rotation on MTV, the song later became a success in the United States, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Too Shy" is Kajagoogoo's only significant hit in the US, where the band is widely regarded as a one-hit wonder.
