Background

"Me" was written and produced by frequent collaborator Shep Crawford.[2] The song was initially conceived during the production of her second studio album A Nu Day (2000).[3] On her decision to omit the song from the final track lisiting, Tamia elaborated in 2019: "I recorded "Stranger in My House" and "Me" at the same time. Both songs I really loved. But "Stranger" was this big record, so I decided to only put it on the A Nu Day album and I saved "Me" because I felt like it was too much of a good thing. I kept it and used it later."[3]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Canadian director Margaret Malandruccolo, who later shot the video for "Almost."[4] The video begins with Tamia laying down on a bed until the questions about a lover arise. We then see hands and someone on the edge of the bed. Tamia later roams around the house. At the end she is shown standing up from a vanity revealing her pregnant belly.[4]
