"Love Me" is a song recorded by the Bee Gees, released on the 1976 album Children of the World. It was also included on the compilation album Love from the Bee Gees released only in the UK.
It was written by Barry and Robin Gibb featuring Robin on lead with his falsetto (with Barry on the middle eight evidenced on the outro. This makes this song a curio among latterday group's tracks, as during the mid and late 1970s Barry sang most of the group's leads. Robin also sing falsetto for the second time on the group's 1979 song "Living Together" on the album Spirits Having Flown. As well as on his solo material "Remedy" from the 1985 album Walls Have Eyes.
With Robin, Barry also sang the lead on the track's middle-eight.
It was started to record in March 30, 1976 in Criteria Studios, Miami and finished in April 25 in Le Studio, Quebec, Canada same day as "I Think I'm Losing You" (unreleased).
Yvonne Elliman's version was more successful than the Bee Gees' as her version reached #14 in the United States, #6 in the United Kingdom, #9 in Ireland, #3 in New Zealand and South Africa, #15 in Australia, #11 in Canada and #16 in Netherlands.
Martine McCutcheon remade "Love Me" for her 1999 debut album You Me & Us from which the track - serving as the BBC Children in Need single for 1999 - was issued as the third single. It was released as a double A-side single along with "Talking in Your Sleep" and peaked at number 6 in the United Kingdom. It was re-released on 22 November in the week building up to the Children in Need event.
