Muscles is a 1982 soul single written and produced by Michael Jackson and performed by American R&B/soul singer Diana Ross. The single reached #10 on the pop singles chart (holding this position for six weeks) and #4 on the R&B singles chart upon its release and was the first single from her gold-certified album, Silk Electric. The song, which was named after Jackson's pet snake and was written for Ross and her "desire" for a muscle-bound lover, also gave Ross her twelfth and final Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

The vocals on the remade version of "Muscles" are performed by singer-songwriter, Suzanne Palmer.
