"She Loved Like Diamond" was released by English new wave act Spandau Ballet on 11 January 1982 as the third single from their second album, Diamond. The accompanying music video and artwork emphasized sexual themes and the attractiveness of the main character. Guitarist and songwriter Gary Kemp drew inspiration from American Jewish music with eastern European influences heard in film scores and theatrical productions. Critics primarily faulted lead vocalist Tony Hadley's vocal delivery, and the single underperformed commercially, reaching only number 49 on the UK Singles Chart.

The lyrics explore sexual themes and describe an alluring title character.
