"Don't Tell Me" is a song by Canadian recording artist Avril Lavigne. It is the first single from her second studio album, Under My Skin (2004). "Don't Tell Me" was written by Lavigne and the music by her and Evan Taubenfeld. The track was produced by Butch Walker.
Since release, the song has received positive reviews from music critics, although some critics felt that the song was too similar to "I'm with You" and "Complicated", two of Lavigne's previous hit singles. In an AOL Radio listener's poll, "Don't Tell Me" was voted Lavigne's ninth best song.
When asked what "Don't Tell Me" was about, Lavigne said:
She also said in a 2007 interview:
" When I was writing "Don't Tell Me", I was just, kind of, thinking about what it was like being a girl, and I was seventeen when I wrote that song, so that was all, like, fresh on my mind. I was just coming out of high school, and there's a lot of pressure for girls these days, and I'm happy to have that song, to be able to sing it up on stage every night, and to introduce it with, you know, by telling the audience that this song is all about being strong, and this goes out to all the girls, and it feels good to be able to do that."

"Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)" is a rock song by Van Halen from their 1995 album Balance. It is one of five singles issued for the album, and was the only one to reach #1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed for three weeks.
The song's main theme is about the power of universal love.
The story about the suicide of Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain, is also told in the song. The lyrics "Is it right to take the easy way" and ends with "I can't tell you what's right for you" with the bridge, repeated towards the end of the song, saying "I see the damage done, yeah/oh Lord, I heard the shotgun", references the story.
Sammy Hagar says in his autobiography that he wanted the song to be uplifting, for the chorus to be 'I wanna show you what love can do', but that his relationship with the Van Halen brothers was becoming strained and that they were very critical of the lyrical treatment, wanting something with more attitude. Hagar says he believes that people in trouble can be saved, that Cobain could have been saved by the people around him, but that they must have just 'let him go for some reason'. He wanted the song to be about hope, not what it eventually became due to internal criticism.

Tell me is the title of an advertisement calling for universal suffrage in Hong Kong. It ran once as a full page ad on the front page of most Hong Kong newspapers on 28 October 2005, and inspired many other people and groups in Hong Kong to run advertisements supporting democracy, in response to the government's reform proposal which ruled out universal suffrage in 2007 and 2008 elections.
It was written in white text on a dark background. It also included a picture of an hourglass. About HK$200,000 ($25,600) was spent in placing the ads. In 2007, two more ads were placed costing about HK$100,000. The old man quoted in the ad worked in the property industry and is now retired. Legislator James To assisted him in designing and placing the advertisements.
"Tell Me!" was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by August & Telma. An Icelandic version was recorded but not released.
The song is an up-tempo duet, with the singers confessing their love for one another and planning to leave where they are in order to "be together all the time". The title comes from the chorus, where both singers ask each other to "tell me" how much they love each other.
It was performed twelfth on the night, following Cyprus' Voice with "Nomiza" and preceding Spain's Serafín Zubiri with "Colgado de un sueño". At the close of voting, it had received 45 points, placing 12th in a field of 24.
The song was succeeded as Icelandic representative at the 2001 contest by Two Tricky with "Angel".
Tell Me may refer to:
I don't know what I have done,
But I'm sure I will in the next five seconds,
You see I have a telephone,
When people call they don't stop ringing for me,
Last night was as mystery,
So the words can create a picture for my mind to see,
Pictures seem to make me sweat,
Something in the morning my sisters told me I would regret.
Refuse to believe what you just told me,
Refuse to believe till you tell me slowly,
Or bring me down gradually.
Aremsee he under-stands,
He's not afraid to tell me about my late night shenanigans,
See I was put here for the world to see,
You can't tell me where I'm going or tell me who I'd like to be,
I don't intend to stop my drinkin',
I know I should and it's clever thinkin',
But don't tell me...
I don't know what I have done, but I'm sure I will,
In the next five seconds,
You see I have a telephone,
And when people call they don't stop ringing for me.
Things they change as you get older,
No longer a devil on each shoulder,
