Turn Me On (Kevin Lyttle song)

Song information

The song interpolates "All My Love", a song by R&B group 112 from their album Room 112. The remix features additional lyrics performed by dancehall artist Spragga Benz.

Various remixes of the song exist. Some radio stations played the pop mix with added drums or a 'Bubbling/Part II' remix by DJ Lipe (Santiago, Chile), featuring additional female vocals. There have also been several reggaeton remixes of the song including one featuring Ivy Queen. A 'Mad Hatters Ball' remix featuring Alison Hinds was also released. In 2008, the song was re-recorded with Hinds for Lyttle's second album, Fyah.

The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at number four on 14 August, staying on the chart for months. It reached number two in the United Kingdom for two weeks (being the best selling non-new entry song twice), number one in Denmark, and number three in Australia. It remains Lyttle's biggest hit to date.

The song was included on ''Billboard'''s "12 Best Dancehall & Reggaeton Choruses of the 21st Century" at number one.
