Info "Free Me" (help·info)

"Free Me" is the first single from Emma Bunton's second studio album, Free Me (2003). Released in the spring of 2003—almost ten months before the release of the Free Me album—, the song immediately picked up airplay. It debuted and peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart, her fourth UK top five single. It sold 55,550 copies, becoming the one hundred thirty-fourth best-selling single of 2003. The single also peaked at number four on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play, making it the only Spice Girls' solo single to chart higher in the U.S. than in the UK. The song's music video, directed by Tim Royes, was shot in and around Grumari Beach, the Copacabana and the Arpoador neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
