"With Me", the first single in the UK, is an R&B song performed by American group Destiny's Child for their debut studio album Destiny's Child (1998). The song was produced by Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal Jr. and received a positive reception from music critics. According to the group "With Me" was meant to be an answer back to the Usher song "U Make Me Wanna". The song contains elements from Master P's song "Freak Hoes". It was not included on Destiny's Child's greatest hits album #1's because it was not a major hit.

In the video, Beyoncé appears as a mermaid in a bluish water scene. LaTavia appears as a genie in an orange-colored room. Kelly is a giantess in a city nightclub.

Jermaine Dupri appears watching the women in a slideshow. Beyoncé's younger sister Solange makes a cameo as well. The music video was never released to a video compilation nor to an enhanced CD, but is uploaded on YouTube in certain countries.
