"Ámame" ("Love Me") is a song by American singer Selena, taken from her third studio album, Entre a Mi Mundo (1992). Selena and Chris Pérez began secretly dating subsequent to Pérez's reintegration into Selena y Los Dinos in the summer of 1991, despite her father's objections. The song was written by Selena and conveys her sentiments towards Pérez as they concealed their liaison from familial scrutiny. Pete Astudillo contributed to the lyrical development of the composition, while A. B. Quintanilla handled production. It was released as the fourth and final single from the album in April 1993.
"Ámame" is a dance-pop and disco song, inspired by Selena and A. B.'s desire to record pop music compositions, accompanied by lyrics delineating a woman's longing for reciprocated affection from her lover. It received a positive response from music critics who lauded Selena's resonant vocals and acknowledged the dance-pop influences. The song peaked at number 27 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. Selena's creative process for the song was portrayed by Christian Serratos in the Netflix two-part limited drama, Selena: The Series (2020).
