"Turn Me Loose" is a hit song recorded by the Canadian rock band Loverboy. It was released on their eponymous debut album in 1980, and as a single in 1981. With a solid rock synthesised start to the song, followed by a steady build on the guitars, it proved to be a huge hit and peaked at #3 on the ARIA Singles chart in 1981.

Eminem and Limp Bizkit collaborated to cover the song, albeit with significantly altered lyrics around 2000.

Tim Rogers and Tex Perkins covered it on their 2006 album My Better Half, under their recording alias T'N'T

Teen idol Fabian had a hit in 1958 with a different song with the same title.

Prince wrote a song with the same name in 2008.
