  "If You Need Me" is a song by American singer-song writer Julia Michaels and recorded for the Facebook Watch series, Sorry for Your Loss, a series based on a group of women who have also experienced loss in their lives. The song was released on September 13, 2019.
  
  ## Music video
  
  The video features footage of Michaels personally meeting members of the Sorry for Your Loss community on Facebook. In a statement released along with the video, Michaels said "When I first met Carol [one of the group members], she said those women were a tribe. There are many people out there who are willing to love you, and willing to listen – you just have to find the right people who will do that. When I read all the comments around Sorry for Your Loss, about everybody being there for each other, I sort of wanted to write [the song] from that angle. I think that's one of the best parts about songwriting, that I can channel someone's feelings and put them into a song."
  
  ## Reception
  
  Mike Wass from Idolator called it "the kind of emotional, anthemic track that gets under your skin from the very first listen."
