"Addicted" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias. It was the first single released from his seventh studio album, 7. It was a modest hit in the UK, where it charted within the top 20, though it failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. The Spanish version, titled "Adicto", peaked inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart and is included on several formats of the single release.

Music video

The music video was directed by Peter Berg through Mars Media and cinematographed by Tobias Schliessler.^[1] It features actress Mischa Barton as Iglesias's love interest. In a radio interview with KIIS-FM Iglesias claimed that the idea for the video was inspired by the movie Midnight Express. In the video, Iglesias is depicted as a jail prisoner who receives limited visitations with restricted contact from Barton, implying he is addicted to her, and cannot have as much of her as he wants. At the end of the video it is realized that there is no prison, and he simply is addicted to her. Two versions of the music video have been released, one US version and one UK version, using different shots during the fight scene (3:15–3:25).
