"Lift Me Up" is a song by English singer-songwriter Geri Halliwell. It was released on 1 November 1999 as the third single from Halliwell's debut solo album Schizophonic. It debuted and peaked at number-one in the UK Singles Chart, winning the chart battle against fellow Spice Girls member Emma Bunton's "What I Am" by 33,000 copies. The music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and filmed in October 1999 in Málaga, Spain. To promote the single, Halliwell performed the song on Top of the Pops, Pepsi Chart, Musica Si and National Lottery.
