"Growing on Me" is a song by glam rock band The Darkness from their album Permission to Land. It was released as a single in June 16, 2003.
Contrary to popular belief, and although filled with sexual innuendo, this song is in no way about pubic lice or any other sexually transmitted disease. During an interview with the music television station VH1, Justin Hawkins stated: "People have said it's about pubic lice, but that's obviously wrong because pubic lice don't grow on you, do they?" When questioned as to its true meaning Justin said: "A sweet lady woman that you will never fully fathom or understand, but you love her so much that after a while it doesn't matter."
The rumours may have been ignited by the single's cover, which focuses on the lower-abdomen and genital area of Justin Hawkins's body. There was a similar rumour about the song 'Holding My Own' being about Masturbation, and a joke rumour that I Believe In A Thing Called Love was about anal sex.
