"Please" is a song by American singer Toni Braxton. It was written by Scott Storch, Makeba Riddick, Vincent Herbert, and Kameron Houff for Braxton's sixth studio album, Libra (2005), while production was chiefly helmed by Storch. One out of several songs on the album to feature a more hard-edged production, "Please" is a spare, mid-tempo R&B and hip hop song with a heavy bottom and zippy strings. Lyrically, it talks about how to handle a temptation in a relationship.

The track was released as the album's lead single to US rhythmic and urban AC radio formats on May 30, 2005 by Blackground Records.[1][2] "Please" reached number thirty-six on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number four on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. "Please" was the only single from Libra for which a music video, directed by Chris Robinson, was shot.
