Contents

In an interview with auspOp in August 2017, Starley said "'Touch Me' is about being in a relationship with someone and not getting comfortable. Find out what that person likes mentally, physically, etc. and make an effort to do that. Don’t let it get boring!" [2]

The song is inspired by Groove Theory's 1995 single "Tell Me". Starley told Amnplify, "I happen to be friends with Bryce from Groove Theory and have always loved "Tell Me" so I asked him if I could create a 2017 version. With his blessing I got in the studio with my good friend and collaborator Hannibal Hector and rewrote it." [3]
