"'''Growing on Me'''" is a song by the [[glam metal]] [[band (music)|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 rumor about the song 'Holding My Own' being about masturbation, and a joke rumor that [[I Believe in a Thing Called Love]] was about anal sex.
The song is featured in [[School of Rock (soundtrack album)|the soundtrack]] to the film ''[[School of Rock]]''.
