"Freak Me" is a R&B ballad recorded by Atlanta,
Georgia-based vocal quintet Silk in 1992. It was co-written and
co-produced by Keith Sweat, for whom Silk was a touring opening
act. Sweat also performed this on his 2003
Live Album.
The song was released as the second single from Silk's album
Lose Control. Their first single, "Happy Days", stalled
at number eighty-six, but "Freak Me" became their first (and to
date, only) number-one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It
also topped the U.S. Hot R&B Singles chart.
The song was covered by British boy band Another Level in
1998. This version reached number one on the UK Singles Chart,
overtaking Billie's
Because We Want To. Another Level's version was the 17th
biggest selling boyband single of the 1990s in the UK selling
415,000 copies.
