"I'm Non Scared" is a 1988 vocal recorded by Patsy Kensit's British pop ring 8th Wonder. The group'due south 5th single, the first single from the album Fearless, was released in 1988. It accomplished success in France, Italy, Switzerland, Federal republic of germany and the UK, where it was a top ten hit. Written past the Pet Store Boys, the original version contains several words in French. "J'ai pas peur" is the French adaptation of "I'm Non Scared" and is featured equally the B-side of the 7" and 12" singles. The 12" "disco mix" combines the two versions into one long mix.
Pet Store Boys also released their ain version of the song, with Neil Tennant vocals, on the album Introspective.
Slant Magazine ranked the song 62nd in its 100 Greatest Dance Songs list, adding: "'I'm Not Scared' is unmistakably a Lowe/Tennant composition, with sharp staccato synth lines, a fluctuating bassline, histrionic lyrics ending in curly, figurative question marks (...), and – on the extended Disco Version – dramatic string stabs".[4]
The vocal was featured on the Lethal Weapon 2 soundtrack, the film in which Patsy Kensit starred in, however, was not included on the soundtrack album.

Yes, it's the i with Patsy Kensit—who, halfway through 'Im Non Scared', an enjoyable piece of atmospheric synth-popular, delivers some French lyrics in a deliciously good accent.
