"Shock Me" is a song by American heavy metal band Baroness. The second single off of their fourth studio album Purple, the track features elements of their traditional sludge metal sound, along with backing synthesizers to create a progressive rock aura.
The single was released digitally and on a 12-inch vinyl picture disc featuring artwork by Marald Van Haasteren. It was the band's third song to chart, spending ten weeks on the BillboardMainstream Rock chart.
Metal Injection said the track "is practically a pop song...but not in any 'sellout' sense. John Baizley reaches down and comes up with a winning vocal performance to match the band's most eminently catchy tune yet." In a review for Pitchfork, Brandon Stosuy wrote, "you'll notice a larger presence from the keyboards on 'Shock Me', but there's still plenty of grit. Opening with pensive keys and clean guitars, before swirling into a gritty rock anthem, it's an elegant song about being shocked into a new reality..." He went on to say, "this isn't dour or sad music: In fact, Baizley sounds thankful for the clearer, sharper vision personal tragedy's afforded him."
