Tell Me (lagu)

Dari Wikipedia Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas berbahasa Indonesia.

Tell Me merupakan lagu yang dinyanyikan hasil kolaborasi antara Christina Aguilera dengan Diddy. Lagu tersebut merupakan single kedua yang dirilis dari album terbaru Diddy yaitu Press Play. Single tersebut dirilis pada kurun waktu bulan November 2006 sampai Desember 2006, tepatnya pada bulan November 2006 untuk kawasan Amerika Serikat dan Australia, 14 November 2006 di Jerman dan 11 Desember 2006 di UK.

Lagu tersebut diciptakan oleh Stephen Garrett, Elizabeth Wyce, Sean Combs, Shannon Jones, Jack Knight, Shannon "Slam" Lawrence, Ryan Montgomery dan Leroy Watson, serta diproduseri oleh Just Blaze. Lagu tersebut juga turut didukung oleh Steve "Static" Garrett dan Yummy Bingham, seorang penyanyi dan pencipta lagu R&B sebagai co-written. Sementara bagian rap yang dinyanyikan oleh Diddy, ditulis oleh Royce Da 5'9.

Rencananya lagu Tell Me ini akan dijadikan sebagai demo track untuk grup musik Danity Kane, tetapi Diddy memutuskan untuk menggunakan lagu ini sebagai single dan memilih Christina Aguilera sebagai rekan duetnya. Single ini sebenarnya cukup sukses di berbagai tangga lagu dunia, tetapi gagal menjadi single andalan terbaik karena kurangnya promosi.


[sunting] Video Klip

Penggambilan gambar untuk pembuatan video klip Tell Me telah dilakukan pada bulan September 2006 lalu di Los Angeles dan disutradari oleh Erik White. Video tersebut ditayangkan perdana pada tanggal 30 Oktober 2006 di MTV TRL Amerika.

Gambar video klip dibuka dengan penampilan Diddy beserta seperangkat peralatan stereo-nya dalam suatu ruangan bernuansa putih dengan diiringi lagu Diddy Rock, salah satu lagu yang diambil dari album Press Play. Seorang pelayan wanita masuk dan menghampiri Diddy dan bertanya apakah Diddy menginginkan si pelayan untuk melakukan Press Play padanya. Kemudian speaker dan TV menyala, terdengar musik Tell Me mengalun.

Saat Diddy bernyanyi rap, Diddy terpental akibat kuatnya gelombang bunyi speaker yang dinyalakannya, kemudian muncul wajah Christina Aguilera di layar TV. Ruangan yang semula bernuansa putih tiba-tiba tersapu akibat gelombang speaker tersebut dan Diddy akhirnya berada dalam suatu tempat gelap dengan angin besar yang berasal dari sebuah kipas. Di tempat itulah Diddy bertemu dengan Christina Aguilera.

Dalam video klip ini, Christina Aguilera menggunakan setelan blazer berwarna gelap yang memberikan nuansa berkelas, seksi dan modern serta terlihat kontras dengan image tahun 20-an dan 30-an yang glamor, sama seperti apa yang ditampilkan dalam nuansa album Back to Basics.

Penggambilan gambar lalu beralih dengan penampilan beberapa penari dengan latar belakang permainan lampu neon berwarna yang gemerlap. Pada akhir video klip, nampak simbol album Press Play yang di zoom out oleh kamera.

[Diddy]

Can you feel me

Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it

Ooh yeah

On the dance floor

Yeah yeah yeah

Lets play a game

On the dance floor

(Oh yeah)

Yeah yeah yeah


Let's play a game

Let's pretend for a second

You don't know who I am or what I do

Let's just put it to the side

I can feel your heart beating

I can hear you breathing

Look into your eyes

Trying to see into your mind

See into your soul

See, no limits to the levels

Me and you can go

When it's me, I take control

But it's something about you

That makes me wanna change

I like the way you dancing

And the way you play the game

I like the way you take away the pain

The way you tell me that you want it

Not saying a thing

The way you got me going

Got me going outta brains

I see us going at it

Going in and out of them lanes


I don't want your innocence

I don't want you to stutter

I don't want a commitment

I don't want you to suffer

I don't want your number

Baby, I want you to wonder

I want you to come up

Looking like something you wanna


[Christina Aguilera]

Tell me, what you thinking about

When you got me waiting patiently

And usually, I don't have to wait for nobody

But there's something about you

That really got me feeling weak

And I'm trying to find the words to speak


Boy, I got my eyes on you

Tell me what you wanna do

I can picture you in my room

Until the morning

I don't even know your name

Boy, I need to know your name

I'm hoping that you feel the same

Tell me if you want it


Chorus:

I know you're gonna like it (I know)

So tell me how you want it (Tell me)

And you don't have to fight it (You don't)

Cause baby you're invited (Baby)

I know you're gonna like it (I know)

So tell me how you want it (Tell me)

And you don't have to fight it (You don't)

Cause baby you're invited (Baby)


[Diddy]

You're dreams fullfilled

You're rockin with the best

Unforgivable put your limits to the test

You're pulsating, your heart is beating outta your chest

You're hyperventilating, trying to catch your breath

(Don't stop)

I'm the first, I'm the next, I'm the end

I'm the boss, in your thoughts, that'll make your mind bend

Look how I approach you, look how I expose you

Look how i then studied every move, now I know you

I don't wanna control you, I wanna console you

And do everything that I told you

Get high with me, come touch the sky with me

Fly with me, see life with new eyes with me

(Don't stop)

I'm the dream, I'm the one, I'm the reason you come

I'm a king, I'm a hung, I'm a beast

I'm the last thing your eyes see

The passion's inside me, it's yours

Now come try me, c'mon


[Christina Aguilera]

Tell me, what you thinking about

When your hands is all on me

Cause I've been thinking about

All the possibilities

Ain't no other place that I really wanna be

Cause you're sweepin' me off my feet


Chorus :

Boy, I got my eyes on you

Tell me what you wanna do

I can picture you in my room

Until the morning

I don't even know your name

Boy, I need to know your name

I'm hoping that you feel the same

Tell me if you want it


Hook :

I know you're gonna like it (I know)

So tell me how you want it (Tell me)

And you don't have to fight it (You don't)

Cause baby you're invited (Baby)

I know you're gonna like it (I know)

So tell me how you want it (Tell me)

And you don't have to fight it (Baby you're invited)

Cause baby you're invited (Baby)


[Christina Aguilera + Bridge]

I got a selection of the positions of affection

With no pressure

So tell me

Tell me how you want it, tell me how you want it babe

I got a selection of the positions of affection

With no pressure

So tell me

Tell me how you want it

Tell me how you want it babe


Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it

Do that shit do that shit do it
