"Crash into Me" is one of the most popular songs by the Dave Matthews Band. It comes off of their album Crash. It reached #7 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It is also featured on Dave Matthews Band's first compilation album, The Best of What's Around Vol. 1.

In his performance on VH1 Storytellers, Matthews described this song as being about "the worship of women," albeit from a Peeping Tom's perspective, and subsequently does a humorous impression of the woman being watched through the window complaining to the police. He ends by saying that he wrote this song instead of getting arrested.

"Crash into Me" was on Clear Channel's list of "songs with questionable lyrics" following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
