Samples and covers

In 1996, hip hop group the LOX freestyled over the instrumental to "Touch Me, Tease Me" on Hot 97.

The song was later covered by Welsh boy band 3SL in 2002 and was more successful than the original version, reaching number 16 on the UK Singles Chart, ten places higher than the original.[5]

In 2009, 50 Cent recorded an abbreviated version titled "Touch Me". In its music video, he is seen wearing the same attire as Case in the original version.

In 2018, King Combs (son of Sean "Diddy" Combs) sampled "Touch Me, Tease Me" for his single "Love You Better" featuring vocals from Chris Brown.
