Blindfold Me

"Blindfold Me" is the second US single from Kelis' fourth studio album, Kelis Was Here (2006). The single, released in October 2006, features American rapper Nas. The Nas-featuring version of the song was chosen for the single version, and only appears on international pressings of Kelis Was Here, while the North American edition has the original no-rap version. The song is about blindfolded sex. Kelis talks about how her lover experiments with her body, unaware of what to do. Nas raps about the male experience and dominance of the act.

"Blindfold Me" did not receive a commercial release, due to unknown reasons (possibly because of the song's racy nature), and was instead sent to radio stations as a promotional single. After Jive decided not to release the song as a commercial single in US, Virgin, Kelis' European label, decided that the Cee-Lo-featuring "Lil Star" would instead be the second official single from the album in Europe.

Despite not being a single in Europe, "Blindfold Me" received considerably heavy airplay on several European radio stations, mostly in Italy, where it landed at number eight on the Italian Top 20 Summer, and Albania (number four on the Albanian Top 50 Radio Hip-Hop). The song also charted at number one on the Australian Radio Metro chart on January 1, staying on the countdown for three months.

"Blindfold Me" was expected to be released in the United Kingdom as the lead single from Kelis' best-of album The Hits, due to the fact it had not been previously issued as a single there. However, this did not happen and the song was not included on the album, thus "Blindfold Me" remains Kelis' the only single not to be released there.
