"Save Me" is a song by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their 15th studio album, Behind the Mask, released as a single in 1990. Written and sung by Christine McVie, it was the group's last top-40 hit in the United States,[2] where it reached No. 33. "Save Me" achieved modest success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 53. It also reached the top 10 in Canada, Finland, and the Netherlands. The song was, as the slightly shorter single edit, included in the group's 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don't Stop.[3]

Unlike most lead singles from Fleetwood Mac albums, "Save Me" was issued as a single after the release of its parent album in the UK for the purpose of generating more record sales. In promotional materials for Behind the Mask, Warner Brothers also announced that another variant of the "Save Me" single would release on April 30th to include additional live tracks, an album style jewel box, and an inlay booklet with a family tree, interviews, and photos.[4]
