"Use Me" is a song, composed and originally recorded by Bill Withers.

The song is noted for its repeated bass figure which is heard alongside a complex rhythm in the percussion.

[citation needed] Withers has said the song relates to feedback he received from women that he was "too nice", and his intent to change that: That's fun stuff.

Unless you were one of those people that were born popular, I was a chronic stutterer until I was twenty-eight.

[2]It was Withers second-biggest hit in the United States, released in September 1972 and later reaching No.

1 by both "Ben" by Michael Jackson and "My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry.

[8] Music critic Robert Christgau called "Use Me" "one of the few knowledgeable songs about sex our supposedly sexy music has ever produced", featuring a "cross-class attraction" in its narrative.
