"Set Me Free" is a song recorded by American singer Mary J. Blige. It was written by Blige, Jazmine Sullivan, Darhyl "DJ" Camper, Jr., and Charles Hinshaw for her thirteenth studio album, Strength of a Woman (2017), while production was helmed by Camper. The song was released as the album's fourth single on July 19, 2017, and peaked at number eight on the US Adult R&B Songs.[1]

The reception to the song has been generally positive, with Entertainment Weekly calling it a "fiery kissoff."[2] The Guardian called the song "pleasingly understated" with "D'Angelo vibes,"[3] while The New York Times wrote that Blige sounds "ecstatic and free."[4]

Commercial reception

"Set Me Free" became Blige's 22nd top-ten hit on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart, tying the record for most top-10 hits on that chart.[5] It also became her third top-ten hit on that chart from the Strength of a Woman album.
