"Antmusic" is the third and final single from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants. The name of the song is also a broad term Adam Ant uses to describe his music, both solo and with Adam and the Ants.

The "Antmusic for sex people" logo first appeared on the cover of the Adam and the Ants' single, "Dog Eat Dog", and the line "Antmusic for sex people, Sex music for Antpeople" is sung in the track "Don't be Square (Be There)" from Kings of the Wild Frontier.

On 28 November 1980, Adam and the Ants released "Antmusic" (often stylised as 'Antmusic') as the third single in the UK from Kings of the Wild Frontier. "Antmusic" peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980.

In Australia, the single spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Kent Music Report and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000 copies. It also reached No. 2 in South Africa, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 6 in New Zealand. The song was the only commercial single released from the album in North America, and it reached No. 14 on the US Rock Albums & Top Tracks chart, as well as number 19 on the National Disco Action Top 30 chart (alongside "Dog Eat Dog" and "Kings of the Wild Frontier").
