"Roll to Me" is a song by Scottish pop rock band Del Amitri, released as the third single from their 1995 album,Twisted.

The song became their biggest hit in the United States when it reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was less successful in the United Kingdom, reaching the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, but peaking at number 22, lower than the two singles from Twisted that preceded it. The band does not consider the song one of their best and have often seemed irked that what they see as a throwaway pop song gave them their biggest hit.[1]

The song was heard in TV shows and movies including Beavis and Butt-head, Second Noah, Family Guy, Dating the Enemy, One Day, Hindsight and the trailer for the 1996 remake of Flipper.
