"Save Me" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their 15th studio album, Behind the Mask, released as a single in 1990. Written and sung by Christine McVie, it was the group's last top-40 hit in the United States,[2] where it reached No. 33. "Save Me" achieved modest success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 53. It also reached the top 10 in Canada, Finland, and the Netherlands. The song was, as the slightly shorter single edit, included in the group's 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don't Stop.[3]

"Save Me" was issued as the lead single in March 1990 in the United States and on 23 April 1990 in the UK[4] after the release of its parent album. Warner Brothers also released an expanded edition of the "Save Me" single on 30 April, which included additional live tracks, an album style jewel box, and an inlay booklet with a family tree, interviews, and photos.[5]
