"Save Me (Wake Up Call)" is a song by the San Diego-based rock band Unwritten Law, released as the first single from the band's 2005 album Here's to the Mourning. It became the second highest-charting single of the band's career, reaching #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.^[1]

The song was written by singer Scott Russo along with Aimee Allen, the label didn’t like the chorus that was written, and after working on several different choruses, the label suggested to Russo and Allen that they collaborate with someone to help work on the song, they chose Linda Perry, as Russo had stated in an interview at the time:

They offered to get us with The Matrix and some other people and we were like, “No, no, no, no.” And they’re like, “Linda Perry? You wanna write with her?” We’re like, “Yeah, she’s cool.

It wasn’t a collaboration on the song; we’d already written the song. We came in and she just helped us change a couple chords in the chorus and then just finished the melody with us. So it was more a collaboration with me and my girlfriend and Linda came in and polished up the chorus.^[2]
