"Call Me" is a song by American R&B-soul singer–songwriter Tweet. It was written by Missy Elliott and produced by Timbaland for Tweet's debut album, Southern Hummingbird (2002). Upon the pending release of Southern Hummingbird, "Call Me" was released to urban radio outlets. Soon as the song began to pick up heavy airplay, it debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at 67. The song would later peak at number 9 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, making it Tweet's second top ten hit on that chart.

The song was recorded in two varying locations; one being Manhattan Center in New York, NY, the other being Westlake Audio in Los Angeles, California.

Prior to a scheduled CD single release, the song was featured as a B-side to longtime collaborator Missy Elliott's international single, "4 My People", in May 28, 2002. By August 29, 2002 and October 1, 2002, the song was made available via vinyl and CD single pressings.

A Chris Robinson-directed music video was released in May 2002, and received consistent rotation on BET and VH1.

The song became a popular anthem for Verizon Wireless ads in 2002.

Because of it being a minor hit in the UK, the song was featured on the 2002 international compilation Hits 54.
