"Tell Me" is a 1998 song by British singer Billie Myers, released as the second single from her debut album, Growing, Pains . It reached number 28 on the UK charts, which compared to her previous single was a commercial failure.
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "has a stompin' alterna-rock attack that allows Myers to flex her quivering, melodramatic vocal style to maximum effect." He added further that producer Desmond Child's "pop savvy is evident in a mix that counters the forceful guitar/drum execution with cushiony keyboards and a spree of fluttering sitar lines. Holding everything together is a sticky chorus that picks up to an anthemic pace by the track's close. In fact, it's easy to see a sea of punters chanting and punching the air in unison during a live performance of this hit-bound gem." [1] Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times described it as "a whimsical song where she imagines she is the person making love to her." [2]
