Designer Music is the third album by American disco act Lipps Inc., and the last featuring Cynthia Johnson on lead vocals. It was released in 1981 on Casablanca Records.

The tracks "Hold Me Down" along with the title track became a hit in 1981 peaking at number 11 on the American dance chart. While the song "Designer Music" failed to catch real attention in American dance charts, it made a lasting imprint in the Mexican and Philippine Disco scenes during the early 1980s as it was a certified disco smash hit and is a staple in discos being held at any part of the country.[1]
