"Undress Me" (also known as "Undress") is a 1988 song by the American R&B/pop singer and actress Vanity, released as a promotional single to support her then up-coming album which was never released. The track is from the 1988 movie soundtrack, Action Jackson which stars Vanity with Carl Weathers and Craig T. Nelson.[1] "Undress" was produced and arranged by the former The Time member and musician Jesse Johnson.

In the film Action Jackson, Vanity portrays Sydney Ashe, a night club singer who is funny, witty and sexy. "Undress" is performed as her character, as is another track also produced by Johnson, a ballad titled "Faraway Eyes".[2]

The song is also used in an episode of entitled "The Secret Agenda of Mesmer's Bauble", in which Vanity plays a popular singer called Angelica.
