"Love Me Baby" is a single by Sheila and B. Devotion becoming the first major hit of the formation led by French singer Sheila backed by three American singers/dancers (Dany Mac Farlane, Freddy Stracham and Arthur Wilkins) known as B. Devotion.

As Sheila had been a major success as a bubblegum Yé-yé music, the record company Polydor didn't want to shock Sheila's already established public and her fame in French media circles with an all English Americanized song. So "Love Me Baby", the debut single of the group Sheila and B. Devotion was released anonymously in May 1977 in France. The first pressings of the record mentioned the obscure name of S.B Devotion without fully spelling Sheila's name, just her first name initial.

When the song became a radio and club hit in France, the identity of the group was rapidly revealed and the song was attributed to the quartet as Sheila B. Devotion. It was also promoted in the States and Sheila and B. Devotion.

"Love Me Baby" became a mainstream Top 10 hit in Europe with high chart success particularly in German Singles Chart reaching number 9 and the Italian Singles Chart where it reached number 3. It was also a hit in the Netherlands making it to number 24 on the Dutch Top 40.
