"Show Me" is the title of the debut single by the American freestyle girl group The Cover Girls. First released as a 12" single on October 28, 1986, "Show Me" first charted on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at #4 in March 1987. Following the song's successful run on the dance chart, it was then released to radio, where it reached #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1987, remaining in the Hot 100 for 18 weeks. The exposure the group received from this song led to an album deal, and the album Show Me was released later on February 24, 1987. The Cover Girls became among the first in a wave of freestyle musical artists to enjoy chart hits in the late 1980s; other associated acts include Exposé, Stevie B and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam.
In 2000, former lead singer of The Cover Girls Angel Clivillés released an updated version of "Show Me" that was remixed and produced by DJ Tony Moran. Her recording was a hit in the US dance clubs, spending one week at #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in June of that year. This version appeared on her solo album Angel, which was released in 1999.
Billboard named the song #49 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.
