"Do Me, Baby" is a 1981 ballad performed by Prince, from his fourth album, Controversy. Although Prince is credited as the sole writer for the song, his former bassist and childhood friend André Cymone claimed to have written it.[1] It was released as the third and final US single from the album. It was later included on his 1993 compilation The Hits/The B-Sides. In 1986, the song was notably covered by R&B singer Meli'sa Morgan. It was featured in one of the opening scenes of the 2007 film Rush Hour 3, with Chris Tucker's character singing along while listening to it on his headphones and simultaneously directing traffic with the dance sequences of Michael Jackson.
