“Hands on Me” is a song on Vanessa Carlton‘s third studio album, Heroes & Thieves (2007), and is the album’s second single. According to the website FMQB.com, it is to be released to mainstream contemporary hit radio in the United States on February 19, 2008 (see 2008 in music).
It was mentioned as a possible choice for the second single in a June 2007 article in Entertainment Weekly, which wrote that it “sounded tailor-made for a rom-com trailer coming soon to a theater near you.” Irv Gotti, the head of Carlton’s label, The Inc. Records, was quoted as saying that the song reminded him of the 1985 film The Breakfast Club.
