"Cover Girl" is a song by American boy band New Kids on the Block, released in August 1989 by Columbia Records as the fifth and final single from their multi-platinum second studio album, Hangin' Tough (1988). The song is both written and produced by Maurice Starr and lead vocals are sung by Donnie Wahlberg. It peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the week of November 4, being held off from the top spot by Roxette's "Listen to Your Heart". The song became the fifth consecutive top 10 single from the album on the Billboard Hot 100, making NKOTB the first teen act to gain such chart success.
