Background and release

"Tell Me" features a music video and together along with "Wait" and "When the Children Cry" made Pride a massive success.

Mike Tramp has said,

"It just proves that the album is timeless. Those songs will live on forever."[3]

"Tell Me" is a snapshot of the late 1980s sound. The production had that "stadium" sound with a lot of echo which featured in the video.[4]
