"Talk to Me" is a song from Stevie Nicks' platinum top 20 album "Rock a Little". The song reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and claimed the number One spot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks for two weeks in 1985.

The song was written by Chas Sandford, who co-wrote John Waite's "Missing You". He also plays most of the instruments on "Talk to Me". The song was brought to the attention of Stevie by producer Jimmy Iovine, "who was always on the hunt for a hit song." Stevie says she that she didn't like the song at first because she had trouble with the vocals, but Jimmy persisted that she record it. It just so happens that Jim Keltner was in the studio next door doing some drum overdubs. After Stevie explained her dilemma, Keltner gave her some words of encouragement and offered to stay with her and be her audience. Stevie sang the song twice, and then the song was finished.

The song was also recorded by Diva Destruction for Todd Stephens' 2001 film "Gypsy 83", about a Stevie Nicks fan who travels across the country to attend the annual Night of a Thousand Stevies event.
