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 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.[1]

Cover versions

"Turn Me On" has been covered by numerous artists, including Himanshu Suri, 2Play & Raghav, Jay Sean, Mumzy Stranger and CocoRosie. There was also a female response from 2Play called "Got Me Wrong".

The song was covered by American DJ trio Cheat Codes and Dutch DJ Dante Klein, in their 2016 single "Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)", released on Spinnin' Records.

In July 2017, the song was interpolated by Bosnian singer Maya Berović. Her version is entitled "Balmain" and it features Bosnian rappers Jala Brat and Buba Corelli who are signed as the authors. "Balmain" is featured on Maya's fifth studio album Viktorijina tajna.

The song was interpolated by American singer Chris Brown, in his 2017 single "Questions", released on RCA.

The song would also be interpolated by Guam artist Pia Mia, which was leaked on 28 June 2017 titled "Turn Me On" which was said to have a featured male artist (most likely Chris Brown), although this was only a sample track and was probably for her upcoming debut album, PM1.
