"Tell Me" is a song by South Korean girl group Wonder Girls, from their debut album The Wonder Years (2007). It was released as the lead single from the album on September 13, 2007, by JYP Entertainment. Written and produced by Park Jin-young, the song samples Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" (1986) written by John Mitchell. "Tell Me (Rap version)", which features Yubin's self-written rap verse, was added as a B-side to their second CD single "So Hot" in May 2008.

"Tell Me" was a major commercial success in South Korea, topping all online and offline charts. It spent six non-consecutive weeks in the number one position on the domestic music program Music Bank and achieved a triple crown at Inkigayo. The song gained significant attention throughout South Korea for its choreography, which was widely imitated and featured on various online video sites.[2]

"Tell Me" was voted the Song of the Year at the Melon Music Awards and Sports Korea Awards in 2007, and was voted the number one most popular song of the year on Gallup Korea. In 2013, it was ranked number one in a survey of the best South Korean hit idol songs conducted by Research Panel Korea. Melon and Rolling Stone named it one of top 10 greatest K-pop songs of all time for sparking a "hook song trend" in K-pop.
