"Sexual Guarantee" is a song by the Swedish band Alcazar. It was released as the fourth single from their debut studio album, Casino (2000), and samples Chic's 1979 hit "My Forbidden Lover". The song charted across Europe, reaching the top 20 in Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands.

Chart performance

The single was released in Europe, but in different formats and sleeves. For instance, the UK once again made their own sleeves and used their own Alcazar logo. Alcazar's record company in the UK, BMG, heavily promoted "Sexual Guarantee", with promotional posters put up across London. One of the posters used the slogan "Bye Bye Steps, Welcome Alcazar", referring to the sudden disappearance of British pop band Steps.^[1]

The first country to release the single was Sweden, then Finland and the rest of Europe followed. Australia released the band's cover of the Human League's "Don't You Want Me" as a single instead.
