Salva Mea is a song recorded by British dance group Faithless. It was released in 1995 as the group's first single and became a hit on the Dance Charts, and then, following its re-release in 1996, #9 in the UK. The album version is more than ten minutes long and contains Maxi Jazz's distinctive rapping. The female vocals on all versions are by Dido (Faithless founding member Rollo is her brother). There is also a Way Out West remix which can be found on Reverence / Irreverence set and in 2015 to mark 20 Years of Faithless British based DJ and production trio Above and Beyond left their mark on this track and gave it a massive boost for the clubs.
The song topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart twice — during its first chart run in 1996 and again in 1997 when the track was remixed and reissued.
Part of the song is sampled in the Enrique Iglesias song "Dirty Dancer".
The music video of "Salva Mea" was directed by Lindy Heymann.
