It was released as the first single from her debut solo album "Schizophonic". It peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, and at number three in both Australia and Canada.

Chart performance

"Look at Me" was released in the United Kingdom on May 10 1999. Since Halliwell had chosen "Look at Me" as the first single from "Schizophonic" and because she felt as though the song was going to return her to the mainstream market, it was released the same week as Boyzone's "You Needed Me". In early 1999, Boyzone were at the height of their success with five UK number-ones, however, Halliwell was confident that "Look at Me" would reach number-one. Although more transactions were made of the "Look at Me" single, two CD singles of "You Needed Me" were released in order for fans to purchase both and ensure that Boyzone made it to the number-one position. [Halliwell, Geri; London, UK (2002). "Just for the Record" (autobiography), pg. 122.]

"Look at Me" entered the UK Singles Chart at number two; it was only seven-hundred copies behind Boyzone's "You Needed Me". [Halliwell, pg. 122–123.] Halliwell was disappointed with the outcome of the chart performance for "Look at Me" since she had believed that it would reach number one. She had also feared that her career was to end six months following the release of the single. However, Halliwell would earn her first UK number-one single with "Mi Chico Latino". "Look At Me" went on to sell 330,000 copies in the United Kingdom alone being certified Gold by the BPI and over a million worldwide.

Music video

The music video for "Look at Me" was directed by Vaughan Arnell and filmed in Prague, Czech Republic. The music video features four versions of Halliwell: a vamp, a bitch, a bride, and a sister (nun). Most of the music video is black and white, except in one scene in the middle of the video, during the funeral of Ginger Spice, Halliwell was seen with red hair (a wig), blonde highlights and a red thorn crown. In the last part, Halliwell and male dancers are dancing on some stairs and then in front of a fountain. At the end of the video there is a message saying Geri's Back! with a picture of a nude Geri and ends with a G.
