I believe the answer is:

breve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'note' is the definition.
(musical note)

'british never getting naked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'british' could be 'br' (abbreviation for British) and 'br' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eve' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breve that I've seen before include "(In music) long note" , "Note equivalent to four minims" , "Accent - musical note" , "Long musical note" , "Long note (mus.)" .)
