"Tell Me" in the United States charted at only #47 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, becoming his lowest charting single since "Diddy" hit #66 back in 2001. Most critics gave the track good reviews and were sure that it would become another top 40 hit for him, but that was not that case. Some think that it was lack of promotion, some think that "Hurt" which Aguilera's other song at the time disrupted the song's performance. This single was not released in France and Italy. It was a hit in Bulgaria and Philippines.
