"Turn Me On" is the debut single of Vincentian singer Kevin Lyttle. It was the lead single from his self-titled debut album. The song was originally a soca ballad released in 2002 on the VP Records sublabel Waist Line Muzik,{{Cite web|url=https://www.vpreggae.com/thelma-south-south-west/|title=Thelma - South South West (7 Inch Vinyl)|website=VP Reggae}} remade into a dance hit for the US release. Featuring Spragga Benz in the radio remix, "Turn Me On" became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in Denmark and peaking within the top 10 in 16 other countries.

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 performed well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number four on 14 August and staying in the chart for months. It was also successful worldwide, reaching 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, and 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.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/7776734/best-dancehall-reggaeton-choruses-21st-century|title=The 12 Best Dancehall & Reggaeton Choruses of the 21st Century|author=Platon, Adelle|date=28 April 2017|accessdate=14 May 2017|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media}}
