Here with Me is a song by English singer-songwriter Dido from her 1999 debut album, No Angel. It was released as the first single in the United States on May 17, 1999, and in the United Kingdom it arrived in February 2001 as Dido’s debut single there. In other countries, it was issued as the second single after Thank You. The track was written by Dido Armstrong, Paul Statham and Pascal Gabriel, and produced by Rick Nowels and Dido. The song runs about four minutes (4:15 on the album, 4:05 radio edit).

The song was used as the theme for the TV show Roswell. It reached number four on the UK Singles Chart and was a top-five hit in France, Hungary, New Zealand and Portugal. In the United States, it reached number 16 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in October 2000. In Australia, it topped the ARIA Hitseekers chart after Dido performed at the 2001 ARIA Awards.

Two different music videos were made. The first, for the U.S. market, was sepia-toned and directed by Big TV!. A second, full-colour video directed by Liz Friedlander was released in May 2000 for the UK and Europe (and used for the international version filmed in Toronto). The second video shows Dido in blue outfits in a blue bedroom, walking the streets of downtown Toronto, and ending with a scene that reveals a photograph she is holding.
