"Tell Me!" was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by August & Telma. The song is an up-tempo duet, with the singers confessing their love for one another and planning to leave where they are in order to "be together all the time". "Tell Me!" was performed twelfth in the Eurovision Song Contest, following Cyprus' Voice with "Nomiza" and preceding Spain's Serafín Zubiri with "Colgado de un sueño". At the close of voting, it had received 45 points, placing 12th in a field of 24. The song was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 2001 contest by Two Tricky with "Angel".

In Iceland, record label Skífan released "Tell Me!" as a CD single in 2000 backed with the B-sides "Segðu mér" and "Simple Man" by Örlygur Smári (credited as Öggi), who co-wrote "Tell Me!".[1] The song received copious airplay in Iceland, topping the country's singles chart for two weeks in May 2000. It ended the year as Iceland's fifth-most-successful single.
