"Handle Me" is the third single to be released off Swedish pop singer-songwriter Robyn's 2005 self-titled album in both Sweden and the United Kingdom despite the first two singles for each territory being two different songs. It will be released in the UK on Monday 29th October 2007 as the follow-up to her 1st UK #1 single "With Every Heartbeat". The last week of September 2007, the song had been added to the BBC Radio 1 "C" playlist, in the first week of October was moved up to the "B" playlist and the next week it was moved to the "A" playlist.

Music Video

A music video was released for the single October 9, 2007. The video has been a success getting over 170,000 views on YouTube in less than a day. The video has been praised by its viewers for its uniqueness and creativity. The video features various solo shots of Robyn in cubes dancing. The video has a similar look and feel as the music video for With Every Heartbeat had, involving the cubes.

The song has recently been criticised for having the reversed word 'Nazi' in the chorus, by acclaimed music journalist Giles Coren.

A different video was filmed for the original Swedish release. In this version Robyn is seen wearing a series of dresses and sneakers, hanging out outside clubs, and riding at night on a bycicle with a group of ethnic youths.
