"Tease Me" is a song by American R&B/pop music trio 3T, released in 1996 as the second single from their debut album, Brotherhood (1995). The original idea of the song belongs to Taryll Jackson, who co-wrote the lyrics.
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "seductive rhythm ballad". He noted that "the lyrics are suave and delivered with a youthful soul that will keep the kids happy, while appealing to older pop listeners." [1]
