"Marry Me" is a song by American recording artist Jason Derulo, released as the second single in the US and Canadian markets (third overall) from his third studio album, Tattoos (2013) (US version titled Talk Dirty). The song was written by Jason Derulo, Jonas Jeberg, "Hookman" Marlin Bonds, Andy Marvel while the songs production was handled by Jonas Jeberg.

During an interview with On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Derulo revealed that he wrote the song as an ode to his, then girlfriend, singer Jordin Sparks. He also shared his favorite lyric: " '.... 105 is the number that comes to my head when I think of all the years I want to be with you.' It’s one of those things you want to wake up next to that person forever so 105 is the number that I thought of".

The music video to "Marry Me" was released on Derulo's YouTube account on September 23, 2013. The video also features Jordin Sparks who appears on the video since Derulo dedicated to her. The music video also premiered on BET's 106 & Park the same day. In the video, Derulo can be seen buying a ring, waking up with Sparks, Derulo playing the pianos while Sparks lays on top. Then, other scenes include the two of them relaxing in a bath tub, watching a movie, eating and fighting with flour. The older version of Derulo and Sparks at the end were played by Derulo's grandparents.

Karen Lanza of Popcruch said Derulo "has simultaneously granted the world its next top wedding tune and given girlfriend Jordin Sparks good reason to go shopping for a fancy white gown" and called it an "upbeat love song" Arjanwrites.com praised Jason vocals and writing skill in the song stating "Marry Me" neatly shows off Derulo's vocal chops and poignant songwriting savvy. It's a heartfelt, hook laden and soaring melodic ballad with a proper stomp that drives home the key message of the song."

The artwork for the single features the diamond ring seen in Derulo's CGI neck tattoo on the album cover of Tattoos. The song made its world premiere of the new song on On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Monday August 26, 2013 and was made available for digital download through digital retailers on the day.
