"Ring My Bell" is a song recorded by British rapper Monie Love and American singer Adeva. Released in March 1991 as a single, it reached the top 10 in Finland and Switzerland, and the top 20 in the Netherlands and the UK. Love co-wrote the lyrics with the song's producer Richie Fermie. The accompanying music video features the singers battling each other in a boxing ring.

Critical reception

Andrew Mueller from Melody Maker wrote, "Subtitled "A Contest Over Twelve Inches", this ostensible clash of the titans pits Monie Love's affected staccato rap against Adeva's oddly tuneless warble and produces a contest roughly as entertaining as any other rock-type collaboration you can think of. That is to say, not very."[1]
