"Do Me!" is a song by American musical group Bell Biv DeVoe. The song was released in 1990 as the second single from the group's debut album, Poison (1990). A remix is included on the group's WBBD-Bootcity!: The Remix Album, released in 1991. "Do Me!" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number eight in New Zealand while also charting in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Composition

According to Billboard, the song is about sex.[2] According to Ricky Bell, Busta Rhymes wrote the "backstage underage adolescent" lyric from the rap section of the song, performed by Michael Bivins.[3]

Release and reception

In June 1990, "Do Me!" entered the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at number 92. In September, the song reached number three, tying previous single "Poison" as Bell Biv DeVoe's biggest hit on the Hot 100.[4] Both songs remained on the chart for 22 weeks. Elsewhere, the single peaked at number four on the Hot Black Singles chart and number six on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[5][6] The song ranked at number 11 on the Billboard Year-End chart for 1990.[7]

Legacy

Davitt Sigerson called the song a "landmark in priapic obsession," and added, "If the true spirit of the male love jones could speak, its words would be B.B.D.'s: 'Slap it up, flip it, rub it down, oh no!'"[8]
