"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.
The song was covered by British boy band Another Level in 1998. This version reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.
