Martika wrote the song about a friend who was battling a cocaine addiction. 'I was a little hesitant because I had only written two songs before and they were light songs. I came up to Michael and said I wanted to write about drugs. It was the first time I got the nerve to write about something that was scary for me to talk about, so I did.'^[1] According to an episode of VH-1's Pop-Up Video, in which 'Toy Soldiers' was featured, the friend-in-question eventually conquered the addiction.

Music video[edit]

The video for the song directed by Jim Shea, who would later become a regular in directing country music videos. Unlike the actual truth about Martika's friend who she wrote the song about, in the video, he dies in a motorcycle accident (his lifeless corpse is seen twice in the video, a last minute afterthought done by Shea). Martika is seen singing with a waterfall in front of her (this was done by filming her in an empty pool with a water current flowing between her and the camera).

Critical reception[edit]

Bryan Buss of AllMusic retrospectively reviewed the Martika album, stating 'the big hit single, 'Toy Soldiers', works with its childlike vocals and lyrics, creating a haunting, effective dichotomy with its subject of drug addiction.' Buss also highlighted the song as an album standout by labeling it an AMG Pick Track.^[2] Rob Theakston of Allmusic labeled the song as an AMG Pick Track on the 2005 compilation Toy Soldiers: The Best of Martika.^[3]

Cover versions and sampling[edit]

• Martika herself recorded and produced a Spanish version of 'Toy Soldiers' renaming it 'Como Un Juguete', though it was not as successful as the original English version. She also recorded the song in Japanese.
• Eminem's 2005 single 'Like Toy Soldiers' features samples from 'Toy Soldiers'. A sample of Martika singing the chorus is used as the chorus of the Eminem version. The subject of the Eminem song is markedly different from the Martika song, concerning violence and murder linked to rap music rather than drug addiction. The sample is also played faster and at a higher pitch than the original version with an added drum beat. The final chorus of Martika's song is used as the chorus of Eminem's version.
• My Vitriol covered the song for their 2007 EP A Pyrrhic Victory.^[23]
